For many centuries the people of the civil- 
ized world have treasured among their pos- 
sessions specimens of plate. In the olden 
times, before the days of securities and bonds, 
when one wanted a portable security the only 
thing was to have either plate or jewels. The 
jewels were easily convertible into cash, while 
the plate, put into the melting pot, served as 
a ready currency. With the vicissitudes ot 
family and country many specimens of plate 
of the old school were lost to the world 
through the melting pot, but enough has 
passed down to us to show the beauty and 
delicacy of the workmanship. The melting 
and remodelling of this old silver has given 
us specimens of different silversmiths and 
periods. In many of the old European fam- 
ilies, who have been able to keep up their 
ancient grandeur for centuries, there are pre- 
served in their silver chests examples of 
different workmen. During the last few years the financial embarrassment of many 
of the noble houses, and the reckless extravagance of some of the younger scions, 
have necessitated the selling of many specimens which have been bought by our 
wealthy Americans, and also by the rich classes in Europe. Many of our American 
tourists in travelling in Europe have bought at comparatively reasonable prices 
these examples of different centuries of silversmiths. The popularity of making 
these collections finally moved the European silversmiths to produce imitations of 
these old spoons, each city having its characteristic plate, and spoons became the 
most fashionable articles to use in making these collections. Some of the spoons 
which were produced are of rare beauty, and are worth a position on the shelves of 
the most enthusiastic connoisseur. 

About eighteen months ago Mr. Daniel Low, of Salem, to whom is given the 
credit of introducing souvenir spoons in this country, made a trip to Europe, 
where he brought home some beautiful examples from European silversmiths. 
Conceiving the idea of producing a spoon which would embody the traditions and 
legends of Salem, he had a die made for the Salem " Witch " Spoon. This spoon 
had an immense sale : others were produced, until it is now estimated that there are 
fully two thousand two hundred souvenir spoons in this country. Some of these 
spoons are exceedingly beautiful, the best efforts of the silversmiths being ex- 
pended on their production ; while many of them are commemorative of places 
and events, there are a number which are appropriate souvenirs of individuals. 
In many instances the spoons bear accurate likenesses of noted individuals upon 
them. Many a legend which has long been forgotten in the town of its origin, 
many a. beautiful story which has long since been lost, have been happily brought 
to mind, and tradition honored by its incorporation in the souvenir spoon. 

Mr. J. H. Buck, whose exhaustive work on old plate has become the standard, 
says that " it is a fact that for ages the very first gift which a boy or girl received 
consisted of one or more spoons, these being the established presents by sponsors 
at christenings. 

"The spoons given were called 'Apostle' spoons because ( the handle of 
each was carved into the figure of an apostle with his appropriate emblem. 

"This habit was in imitation of the heathen, who introduced the figures of 
their gods upon almost every utensil. 



" The idea as adopted in the Middle Ages was excellent; a 
child no sooner learned to feed himself, use his own spoon, than 
he began to acquire a knowledge of Scripture and ecclesiastical 
history ; every spoonful of food he received conveyed, or might 
convey, a useful lesson to his mind. This shows the influence of 
religion on hearts in mediaeval times ; how ingeniously ecclesiastical 
matters were interwoven with almost everything ; how even a spoon 
was made to infuse religious truths into the minds of children while 
it conveyed pap to their mouths. Spoons with the figures and em- 
blems of the • Four Evangelists,' although not so common, are 
often mentioned in old inventories of silver." 

Mr. Hone in his " Every Day" book writes : " S. Paul's day 
being the first festival of an apostle in the year, it is an opportunity 
for alluding to the old ancient English custom with sponsors or 
visitors at christenings, of presenting spoons called 'Apostle ' 
spoons ; persons who could afford it gave a set of twelve, others a 
smaller number, and a poor person offered a gift of one spoon 
with the figure of the saint after whom the child was named, or to 
whom the child was dedicated, or who was the patron saint of 
the good-natured donor." 

Years ago it was usual, in making up the dower of a bride, to 
have it comprise a number of coin-silver spoons marked in the old 
English text. These are the heirlooms which are now treasured 
by our old families with so much care. 

The custom of presenting to the newly engaged young lady a 
spoon, or a delicate china teacup, has been very happily assisted 
in this new fashion. It has become the practice now to obtain a 
spoon from each place that one may visit, preserving a souvenir 
of a happy outing, or a delightful recollection of a pleasant locality, 
or the remembrance of a distinguished man or a historical spot. 
A" few years ago it was generally looked upon as an innovation 
when people had sets of furniture, no two articles alike. This has 
gradually grown so general that one hardly finds in a modern 
house anything but odd pieces. It seems as if the custom of giving odd pieces of 
silver will become general, and that instead of giving sets of spoons all alike, one 
would find at fashionable weddings odd spoons. What can be more beautiful 
than a dozen spoons collected together, commemorative of localities and individ- 
uals which have been visited together by the giver and the recipient? Thus it 
seems that the practice which has become now so universal, combining as it does 
a practical and an artistic value, should not end with a season. 

In the following pages care has been taken to give a description of the spoon, 
represented by a short account of the legend which supports the design, as well as 
a short biography of the individual, and a summary of the history of the town or 
locality. As far as it lias been possible, the price of the different pieces has been 
given. 

This is not by any means a complete list of the spoons of the country, but 
comprises some of the principal ones. It is hoped that this edition may meet with 
such success that the compiler may be emboldened to print another which will give 
a more complete list of the new spoons.

THE "WITCH" SPOON. 

Reg. Trade-Mark. « 

From the Old Witch Town of Salem. 

First Pattern. 

This spoon was the first to be made from a special 
die, of a design suggestive of some particular place, 
and it has since become the most celebrated of the 
souvenir spoons. On the handle is the figure of a 
Reg. Trade-Mark. w Jtch, the word " Salem," and three witch pins, of the 
same size and shape as those preserved in the Court House, at Salem. 
Here also may be seen many of the original documents relating to 
the witchcraft trials, among them the death warrant of Bridget Bishop. 
Salem and its surrounding towns were among the earliest set- 
tlements in America, and is of more interest historically than any 
other section of this country. Salem is visited every year by an in- 
creasing number of people to see the old landmarks and its old 
houses, especially those connected with the witchcraft delusion. 
The Roger Williams House, better known as the old "witch house," 
this house was built for Roger Williams, minister of the First Church 
from 163 1 to 1635, and in its rooms tradition says were held pre- 
liminary examinations of those charged with witchcraft in 1692. 
This is the oldest house standing in Salem, or in this section. Sam- 
uel Shattuck's house, built before 1660, figures in the witchcraft 
trials. Gallows Hill was the scene of the nineteen executions. 
"The place of execution was a high hill," says Hawthorne, "on the 
outskirts of Salem, so that many of the sufferers, as they stood be- 
neath the gallows, could discern their own habitations in the town ; 
but the martyrdom of these guiltless persons seemed only to increase 
the madness." 

Salem is so well known the world over, and so many of her 
sons and daughters are to be found in every State, that this spoon 
has had the largest sale of any of the souvenir spoons. 

" One of the presents received by Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes on his eighty- 
first birthday was a gold-lined silver spoon, the handle of which bears a witch on 
a broomstick, the word ' Salem, 1 and the emblematic witch pins crossed. It came 
from a lady as a token of Dr. Holmes's latest poem, the ' Broomstick Train. 1 " — 
Boston Evening Tratiscript. 

This pattern is made only in sterling silver and in a great variety 
of pieces. These are of very desirable shapes and of the finest 
workmanship. They are made only by Daniel Low, 231 Essex 
Street, Salem, Mass. His establishment is on the corner of the two 
principal streets, in the First Church Building. The First Congrega- 
tional Society is one of the oldest in America, their first church 
being erected on that same spot in 1634.

"WITCH" SPOON. 

Second Pattern. 

One of the most curious facts in the history of our early- 
colonial times was the Salem witchcraft delusion. Every 
nation at some time has peculiar superstitions, but at this 
period of the world's history the entire English-speaking 
community seems to have been crazed over the subject of 
witchcraft. 

In Salem, Mass., nineteen persons were hanged for 
witchcraft ; eight more were condemned, and fifty confessed 

WITCH 

pins. themselves to be witches, and were pardoned in 1692. Many 
books have been written regarding this peculiar state of the human 
mind that would allow people to avow themselves to be what they 
absolutely knew they were not. Old and ill-favored women were 
suspected and accused of practising sorcery ; while even the gov- 
ernor's wife, Lady Phipps, did not suffer to escape from the general 
accusations. At last the spell was broken, and a large number of 
the accusers came forward and publicly published solemn recan- 
tations of the truth of their testimony, while the public, being then 
thoroughly aroused over the innocence of the accused, were only 
saved from doing violence to the accusers by their denials of the 
truth of their testimony. 

At the Court House in Salem one may see a bottle containing 
the original pins which were used in the trials where the accuser 
swore that that pin was used on him as a means of torture by a 
witch. 

Here are also preserved the death warrants returned by the 
sheriff, as executed, and other documents of similar interest. 

A second pattern of the famous Witch Spoon has' been made; 
on the handle are all the features connected with the witchcraft de- 
lusion ; the place and date, the cat, the broom, the rope, the witch 
pins, the new moon, and, surmounting all, the witch. The reverse 
side carries out the idea of the front, making a spoon of heavy 
weight, but of such good shape that it can be conveniently used. 
The Orange Spoon, with its deep bowl and sharp point, being es- 
pecially practicable. These are made in sterling silver of a very 
heavy weight and of the finest workmanship.

THE "LEIF ERICSON" SPOON. 

Commemorative of the Discovery of America by the Norsemen, A. D. iooo. 

ABOUT 986, over five hundred years before the first voyage of 
Columbus, one Biarni, while sailing from Iceland to Greenland, 
was blown over to the American coast. He did not, however, 
land, but sailed back to Greenland. Here Leif the Lucky bought 
his vessel and set sail, with thirty-five companions, to see what he 
could discover. He sailed along this coast, landing in many places, 
and passing one winter here. 

The stories of these and subsequent voyages are told in the 
earliest Icelandic works, which have in recent years been carefully 
translated and studied. It is now the general belief of historians 
that these legends are mainly correct, and that the region described 
as Vinland was a part of the North American continent. 

The poet Whittier has written thus of these early explorers in 
his poem called "The Norsemen": — 

" What sea-worn barks are those which throw 
The light spray from each rushing prow ? 
Have they not in the North Sea's blast 
Bowed to the waves the straining mast? 
Their frozen sails the low, pale sun 
Of Thule's night has shone upon ; 
Flapped by the sea-winds' gusty sweep, 
Round icy drift and headland steep, 
Wild Jutland's wives and Lochlin's daughters 
Have watched them fading o'er the waters, 
Lessening through driving mist and spray, 
Like white-winged sea-birds on their way. 

" Onward they glide; and now I view 
Their iron-armed and stalwart crew : 
Joy glistens in each wild blue eye 
Turned to green earth and summer sky : 
Each broad, seamed breast has cast aside 
Its cumbering vest of shaggy hide : 
Bared to the sun and soft warm air, 
Streams back the Norseman's yellow hair. 
I see the gleam of axe and spear ; 
The sounds of smitten shields I hear, 
Keeping a harsh and fitting tirrn 
To Saga's chant and Runic rhyme." 

This artistic spoon is made only in sterling silver. An oar 
similar to those used by the early voyagers forms part of the handle, 
and, at its junction with the bowl, is a bunch of grapes significant of 
the naming of Vinland. The back of the handle carries out the 
idea of the front, making a spoon of very heavy weight. The words 
"Leif, A. D. 1000" are on the back of the oar in raised letters. The 
workmanship of this spoon is very fine. It is made from the most 
expensive dies, and the details of the design are very clearly brought 
out, much more so than in a cast spoon.

"NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE" SPOON. 

AN increasing number of people visit Salem every year to see not 
only its many places of historical interest connected with the 
witchcraft delusion, but also Hawthorne's birthplace, the Grimshaw 
House, the House of the Seven Gables, and the Custom House. 

Here, while holding post of surveyor, Hawthorne found among 
old papers the records which suggested the story of "The Scarlet 
Letter," together with the Scarlet Letter itself. 

Nathaniel Hawthorne, one of the most distinguished of our 
American romancers, was born in Salem, Mass., July 4, 1804, an d 
died in 1864. The poet Longfellow graduated with him in 1825 
at Bowdoin College. He was a man of delicate and nervous tem- 
perament, and his writings show the subtle influence of a sympa- 
thetic, cultured, and refined mind. 

Mr. Hawthorne removed in 1843 to Concord, where he wrote 
"Mosses from an Old Manse," — a collection of sketches and tales 
written by him while occupying the Old Manse at Concord. 

In 1846 he was appointed collector of customs at Salem, a 
position which he held for three years. 

Among the best known of Hawthorne's works, and in which 
are used places of historical interest and characters which are made 
up of old Salem people, are "The House of the Seven Gables" and 
"The Scarlet Letter."

graph, and on the back the titles of the works which have given him 
world-wide fame. 

The pattern is made only in sterling silver and of very heavy 
weieht.

THE TWIN SPOONS OF LEXINGTON AND 
CONCORD. 

AMONG the very finest in design and execution of any of the 
souvenir spoons are the " MlNUTE-MAN" SPOONS, commemo- 
rating the opening scenes of the AMERICAN REVOLUTION, as enacted 
in the old towns of LEXINGTON and CONCORD, MASSACHUSETTS. 

At Lexington, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, on the 19th 
of April, 1775, was shed the first blood of the American Revolution. 

Gen. Gage, the royal governor, had discovered that the Ameri- 
can patriots had collected military supplies in the town of Concord, 
eighteen miles from Boston. On the night of April 18, 1775, the 
British "redcoats," eight hundred or nine hundred in number, 
crossed the Charles River from Boston, and landed in Cambridge, 
taking up their march for Concord. To their surprise they heard 
in advance of them the ringing of bells and the firing of alarm guns. 
The approach of the British toward Concord had been foretold to 
the townspeople of Medford and Lexington by Paul Revere, a 
mounted patriot, who had been signalled from the Boston shore of 
the Charles River, that the forces, under the British Major Pitcairn, 
had started. 

At an early hour of the morning of April 19, Major Pitcairn 
reached the town of Lexington, and found assembled on the "village 
green " some sixty or seventy " minute-men " to dispute his further 
advance. " Disperse, ye rebels," cried the British commander. 
Then the soldiers fired, and the fire was returned by the patriots. 
Eight of the Americans were killed. It was "the shot heard round 
the world." 

The Lexington " minute-man " of 1775 is the pride of America. 
The device of an armed minute-man was adopted for the town seal 
of Lexington, and has always been used since. A reproduction of 
the minute-man is the chief feature of the " Lexington" Spoon. It 
is a superb piece of die cutting. The spoon is artistic and elegant, 
and withal of much historic value.

THE "CONCORD" SPOON 

is also a beautiful example of the silversmiths' art. Like the "Lex- 
ington " Spoon, it is of sterling silver, made extra heavy. On the 
handle is an exact reproduction in miniature relief of an old flint- 
lock musket, such as was carried by the patriots in the Concord and 
Lexington fights. On the butt of the musket is reproduced the 
figure of the " embattled farmer," as seen on the monument at the 
bridge in Concord, where the British were repulsed. 

The stirring scenes of that eventful 19th of April are told in 
that patriotic tale, " Paul Revere's Ride," by the poet Longfellow, 
whose home at Cambridge, Massachusetts, was close by the old town 
of Lexington. 

" The fate of a nation was riding that night ; 
And the spark struck out by that steed in his flight 
Kindled the land into flame with its heat. 

" It was one by the village clock 
When he galloped into Lexington. 

" You know the rest ; in the books you have read 
How the British regulars fired and fled, — 
How the farmers gave them ball for ball, 
From behind each fence and farm-yard wall. 

" Through all our history, to the last, 
In the hour of darkness, peril, and need, 
The people will waken and listen to hear 
The hurrying hoof-beats of that steed, 
And the midnight message of Paul Revere."

Nuremberg, of all German cities, is the most interesting to the

their gables, while the balconies, profusely ornamented with carvings 
in stone or wood, overhang the sidewalks. A renowned traveller 
says that " the streets look like incarnations of mediaeval legends." 
Its ancient fame is shown in its splendid monuments. The paintings 
by Albert Diirer in the church of St. Sebald have a reputation world- 
wide. The celebrated bronze doors of the tomb of St. Sebald, 
executed by Peter Vischer and his sons, the exquiste 1 workmanship 
of which is so admired, are in this church.

A favorite choice for wedding 
gifts, silver suggests at once by its 
bright clear surface the purity which 
is the greatest charm of all domestic 
comfort. It has also the intrinsic 
value of a precious metal, and its 
durability gives it the added attrac- 
tions which' cluster around a service 
used for two or three generations in 
the same family. For these qualities, 
it is a most appropriate gift for those 
who, making a new home for them- 
selves, desire to have in it objects of 
beauty and utility. 

The names chosen by the Gorham 
Company for its different styles of 
spoon ware recognize the intimate 
relation between historical events and 
the progress of art. All imitative, 
figurative, and artistic work is true to 
its developing cause, and partakes of 
the multiform qualities of the nation 
which has given it birth. To think 
of Fontainebleau, Medici, Cluny, 
Versailles, or Marie Antoinette, re- 
calls instantly brilliant epochs in art 
and literature of France, Germany, 
and Italy. 

The beautiful " Marie Antoinette " pattern, named after the un- 
fortunate queen of Louis XVI. of France, and daughter of Maria 
Theresa, is rococo in character and design, and is rich and brilliant 
in effect. Marie Antoinette possessed extraordinary personal 
charms, great vivacity of disposition, but the freedom of her manners 
was often misconstrued by her enemies. It was supposed, 
however, to have been groundless. 

The "Cluny" design is in oxidized or bright finish, and has a 
floral design in strong relief, and of very heavy weight. 

The " Colonial " pattern, suitable for quiet tastes, represents 
the unadorned and simple manners of old New England.

The Medici family were originally merchants ; amassing im- , 
mense fortunes, they became in the fourteenth century the leaders in 
Florentine affairs. Devoting their riches. to the protection and ad- 
vancement of the arts, while they adorned Florence with magnificent 
public buildings, raising her to an enviable position as the most 
beautiful and interesting of the cities of Italy as well as the principal 
seat of art and science. The influence of this great family on art 
was felt everywhere in Italy. In the tea spoons and orange spoons 
a design is given to each, illustrating the history of the Italian 
Court in the time of Lorenzo the Magnificent. The designs recall 
the varying phases of the brilliant social and intellectual life of 
Florence. The " Chippendale " pattern is after the style of the re- 
vived feeling of art in the latter part of the eighteenth century, of 
which the efforts of Chippendale and Wedgwood and his associates 
afford excellent examples. In the St. Cloud a foliated design is 
given, soft in effect, beautifully wrought and of pleasing outline. 
The palace of St. Cloud was built in 1572, and it was here Henry 
III. was assassinated, in 1589. The Duke of Orleans, brother of 
Louis XIV., made extensive repairs and additions to the royal 
chateau, and here was effected the famous coup d'etat of Nov. 10, 
1799, which placed Napoleon at the head of the French government.

Washington Irving was born in the city of New York in 
1783. He was the youngest son of an old New York merchant, 
and profited largely by his father's well-stocked library. The. 
romances which have been written by Irving have never been 
equalled by any American author in his field. They are especially 
rich in folk lore of the towns bordering on the Hudson, and par- 
ticularly that relating to old Knickerbocker habits and customs. 
He spent the last years of his life at Sunnyside, on the banks of the 
Hudson, a beautiful suburban home, of which he was the proprietor, 
dying there suddenly in 1859. The exquisite souvenir of Irving 
bears at the top of the handle in delicate scroll-work the initials 
" W. I.," while on the handle is in unique lettering his nom-de-plume, 
and in the bowl is pictured his home at Sunnyside. 

Versailles is justly regarded as one of the handsomest towns in 
France, with its many public buildings, its broad avenues, and lastly 
containing as it does the superb palace of the kings of France. 
The palace of Versailles built by Louis XIV. was from 1672 to 
.1679 the residence of the kings of France. Its beautiful gardens, 
numerous statues, and splendid fountains, together with the archi- 
tectural appearance of the buildings, make it one of the grandest 
structures in all Europe. Since 1830 the palace has been a national 
museum. The pattern is in artistic silver, oxidized or in bright 
finish, and is one of the most elaborate and skilfully wrought patterns 
ever produced in this country. 

The beautiful pattern of the old masters represents accurate por- 
traits on the handle of the tea spoons of the following old masters : 
Rubens, Diirer, Velasquez, Van Dyck, Leonardo da Vinci, Michael 
Angelo, Titian, Raphael, and others.

DETROIT, MICH., 

Is on the Detroit River, which forms a boundary between Canada 
and this country. The river is of a varying width, being half a 
mile broad opposite the city, and of great depth, forming the most 
perfect harbor on the whole chain of lakes. 

"A remarkable feature about the history of Detroit," says 
Quimby, "is that three different sovereigns have claimed its alle- 
giance ; and since the United States has held it thrice has its govern- 
ment been transferred. It has twice been besieged by Indians, once 
captured in war, and once totally consumed by fire. It has been 
the scene of one surrender, fifty pitched battles, and twelve bloody 
massacres." No city probably on this continent had seemingly a 
better right to hold the meeting of the Grand Army of the Repub- 
lic in 1 89 1. There are three spoons as souvenirs of Detroit. In 
the first on the head of the spoon is a representation of the coat-of- 
arms of Michigan, while in the bowl is the city seal of Detroit in 
relief. The second spoon has the armed figure of a woman with 
shield and sword, with the city's seal in bowl. The third spoon has 
the arms of Michigan on the tip of the handle, while in the bowl is 
pictured the beautiful Soldiers' Monument. It is fifty-five feet in 
height, built of granite, from Westerly, R. I., and designed by 
Randolph Rogers, of Rome, Italy.

The memorable ride of Paul Revere, which is so aptly related 
in the poem by Longfellow, is commemorated by an exquisite 
spoon bearing at the top of the handle the coat-of-arms of Massa- 
chusetts, while in the bowl is represented Paul Revere rowing from 
Boston across the Charles, past the "Somerset" man-of-war. In 
the distance is seen the tower of the Old North Church. 

Rochester, N. Y., is situated on a plain on both banks of the 
Genesee River, seven miles from Lake Ontario. There are three 
falls in the river in its course through the town, below the last of 
which the stream becomes navigable for all lake vessels. The last 
of the falls is ninety-six feet in height, from which the river flows 
through banks of precipitous rock to the lake. A representation 
of these famous falls is given in the bowl of the spoon, while on the 
handle at the top is a relief representation of the coat-of-arms of 
New York. 

The beautiful city of Louisville, Ky., situated in the blue-grass 
country, was settled in 1775. It is built at the falls of the Ohio 
River, from which it derives its name of the "Falls City." It is 
remarkable -for the salubrity of its climate, the ratio of deaths it is 
said being less than that of any city of its size in America. In- 
separably connected with the history of the State and city is the 
life of Daniel Boone. Born in Pennsylvania in 1735, he died in 
Missouri, where he emigrated from Kentucky soon after its admission 
to the Union, in 1820. In 1769 he penetrated the forests of Ken- 
tucky, then uninhabited by white men, and continued to hunt in that 
region for many years. The "Louisville" Spoon bears an excellent 
portrait of the trapper in the bowl, while above the head are a 
powder-horn and bowie knife. The handle has on the tip a bunch 
■ of tobacco leaves.

Baltimore, Maryland, is said to have one of the most pictur- 
esque sites in the United States, covering as it does a number of 
eminences, from either of which there is a fine panorama spread 
out before the visitor. 

The present site tff Baltimore was first fixed upon for a town 
in 1729. It is more than usually rich in the number and promi- 
nence of its monuments, and has been called " The Monument City." 
Washington Monument is the most remarkable of these. Its base 
is fifty feet square and twenty feet high. It supports a Doric column 
one hundred and seventy-six and one half feet high, which is sur- 
mounted by a colossal statue of Washington sixteen feet high, 
giving its summit an elevation of three hundred and twelve and one 
half feet above the level of the harbor. The shaft, twenty feet 
square at the base and fourteen feet at the top, is ascended by means 
of a winding staircase. 

The " Baltimore " Spoon bears at the top of the handle the 
coat-of-arms of Maryland, while in the bowl is an accurate represen- 
tation of the Washington Monument. 

Pittsburgh was erected on the site of Fort Duquesne, a French 
trading post, which was built in 1754, the town itself being set- 
tled in 1765. During the French and Indian wars, Fort Duquesne 
was captured from the French and its name was changed to Fort 
Pitt, in honor of William Pitt, then Prime Minister of England : so 
when the town began to be settled the name taken was Pittsburgh. 

The first souvenir spoon of Pittsburgh shows in the bowl a per- 
fect representation of Fort Duquesne. A representation of the seal 
of the city, in full relief, is shown at the head of the handle, while 
in the bowl of the second spoon is depicted the seal of the city, and 
on the handle a perfectly modelled miniature of an Indian. In- 
dian ornamentations are suggested by the handle of the spoon of 
Pittsburgh.

Two of the most interesting features of New York, and which should rank 
with the wonders of the world, are the Bartholdi Statue of Liberty Enlightening 
the World, and the great Suspension Bridge which connects New York and 
Brooklyn. 

The souvenir of New York and Brooklyn shows' at the top of the handle an 
accurate representation of the statue, while in the bowl is depicted the Suspension 
Bridge. This Suspension Bridge, connecting the city of New York to Brooklyn, 
swings on cables from two towers, one on each shore of the river, supporting in its 
place the bridge. From tower to tower the distance is one thousand five hundred 
and ninty-five feet, while the entire length of the bridge is six thousand feet. It 
is eighty-five feet in width and one hundred and thirty-five feet above high-water 
mark. It was commenced in 1871, cost fifteen millions, and it was in course of 
construction over twelve years before its final completion. The statue of " Lib- 
erty " was presented to the United States by France. 



The battle of Gettysburg was fought July 1, 2, and 3, 1863. The Con- 
federates were determined upon invading the North, supposing that their course 
would be unchecked, and in that way entering the populous cities and biinging 
the horrors of war upon the inhabitants so that they would bring the war to a 
speedy close. They were, however, unsuccessful, being defeated by the Army of 
the Potomac under Gen. Meade. The defeat of the Southern Army in this 
engagement marked the beginning of the end of the Confederacy, The National 
Cemetery now covers the site of this famous battle. Every year it is visited by 
thousands of people to view the decoration of graves and the monuments which have 
been erected to the different regiments and their companions in arms. 

The first of the handsome spoons which commemorate this battle bears upon 
the handle an excellent representation of the monument erected to Gen. Meade. 
The second spoon exhibits in the bowl a spirited cavalry charge, while on the han- 
dle is a soldiers' monument representing Victory crowned and with a laurel wreath 
in her hand.

Providence was settled in 1636 by Roger Williams, who was 
banished from Massachusetts on account of his religious views. 
What is now North Main Street, near St. John's Church, is where the 
first buildings were erected. Near this place is a spring which at 
this day gives pure water. It bears the name of Roger Williams, 
and it was in this vicinity that his remains were first buried ; but 
they have now been exhumed and placed under the monument 
which is erected to his memory. 

The spoon bears in the bowl a reproduction of the picture of 
Roger Williams's greeting with the Indians, " What Cheer? " On the 
handle is the coat-of-arms of Rhode Island. 



Memphis stands on a bluff which is elevated about sixty feet 
above high-water mark, its base being washed by the Mississippi for 
a distance of three miles, thus forming a convenient landing. Being 
the principal place between St. Louis and New Orleans, it has great 
commercial importance, and commands a large trade with the East 
and West. Cotton, of course, is the principal export, and in the 
first of the souvenir spoons is depicted in the bowl two bales sym- 
bolical of the city's trade, while at the top of both spoons is an 
excellent miniature of an Indian. In the bowl of the second spoon 
is a relief representation of the coat-of-arms of Tennessee.

By Longfellow have been immortalized the falls of Minnehaha, 
which are visited annually by hundreds of tourists. The vicinity of 
the falls is rich in legend. Their nearness to the twin cities led them 
to be selected as a subject for the spoon commemorative of Minne- 
apolis and St. Paul, which bears in the bowl a representation of the 
falls of Minnehaha, while at the top of the handle is the coat-of-arms 
of Minnesota. The falls are exceedingly beautiful, and :are in a nar- 
row stream, the outlet of several small lakes on the west side of the 
Mississippi River. They have a perpendicular descent of fifty feet, 
including smaller falls and rapids of over one hundred feet. 

The second spoon, which is a souvenir of Minneapolis, bears on 
the handle in relief several stocks of wheat, while in the bowl is 
represented a bag of flour, the front of the bag bearing the inscrip- 
tion, "Flour City," the well-known name of Minneapolis. Minneap- 
olis is the greatest manufacturing centre of the flour and wheat 
products of this country. 

In the souvenir of Saratoga is depicted in the bowl a repro- 
duction of one of Darling's drawings for J. Fcnimore Cooper's "Last 
of the Mohicans," showing an Indian boy drinking from High Rock 
Spring. An Indian with his bow and arrows stands behind, while 
in the farther background is represented the camp ; in the front are a 
squaw and papoose. On the top of the handle is a miniature In- 
dian, while the handle is composed of three arrows.

The spot upon which Philadelphia is built was discovered by 
Capt. Hendrickson, who sailed from Manhattan in 1623, but 
the town which is now the city of Philadelphia was not laid out until 
168 1-82 . In this city two objects of historical interest appeal 
strongly to the hearts of all Americans, and carefully are they 
guarded by the Philadelphians, — the Liberty Bell and Independence 
Hall. 

Independence Hall occupies the square upon Chestnut Street, 
between Fifth and Sixth Streets. In this hall assembled the Second 
Continental Congress in 1775, and here in 1776 was adopted the 
Declaration of Independence. The Congress of the United States 
assembled here until the seat of government was removed to Wash- 
ington, in 1800. The Liberty Bell, which was rung so joyously upon 
the signing of the Declaration of Independence, is now preserved, 
with other relics of historical interest, in the hall where the Declara- 
tion was signed. The bell, which was imported from London by 
the Assembly of Pennsylvania, bore the inscription, " Proclaim 
liberty throughout all the land with all the inhabitants thereof." 

In the first of the beautiful spoons, souvenirs of Philadelphia, 
one shows an accurate representation of Independence Hall in the 
bowl, while the head of the spoon shows the arms of the State of 
Pennsylvania. In the second is depicted in the bowl the scene of 
the famous treaty between Wm. Penn and the Indians, a treaty which 
was never sworn to nor ever broken. The arms of the State in 
relief surmount the handle. In the third is pictured in the bowl the 
old Liberty Bell, with its now cracked side and its famous inscrip- 
tion. The arms of the State are also upon the handle.

The handle of the " Washington" Spoon 
is composed of thirteen stars, representing the 
original States. At the top of the spoon is an 
eagle in full relief, bearing aloft the word 
" Washington," while below is the nation's 
motto, E Pluribus Unum. In the bowl is 
stamped the dome of the Capitol. For miles 
around this dome is visible, and from it the 
panorama extended before one's view is 
superb. One of the principal features of 
Richmond is the bronze statue to the great 
'general, Robert E. Lee, representing him 
mounted on his charger. At the top of the 
handle of the "Richmond" Spoon is repre- 
sented a miniature of this statue, while in the 
bowl is the State coat-of-arms. In the " New 
York" Spoon is represented at the head of 
the spoon the State coat-of-arms. The spoon 
commemorative of the Bartholdi statue of 
" Liberty enlightening the World " bears at 
the head of the handle a miniature figure of 
the statue which stands on Bedloe's Island 
in New York Harbor, and was presented by

Oliver H. Perry, a distinguished 
American commodore, was born in 
Newport in 1785. As commander 
of a squadron on Lake Erie in 1 8 1 3 , 
he defeated the British after an en- 
gagement of three hours. At the 
top of the souvenir spoon is a 
miniature statue of Perry, taken 
from a monument erected to his 
memory at Newport, R. I. The 
rope and anchor are excellently 
wrought, while the scene in the 
bowl is taken from a celebrated 
painting in the Senate Chamber 
at Washington. The fleet in 
which Perry fought his great battle 
was built at Erie, Penn.

THE "Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" is very happily com- 
memorated in a beautiful spoon gotten out in Boston. Its 
historical value can be better told in the words of the immortal 

Longfellow : — 

" Listen, my children, and you shall hear 
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere. 
On the eighteenth of April, in seventy-five, 

******* 

He said to his friend, ' If the British march 
By land or sea from the town to-night, 
Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch 
Of the North Church tower as a signal light, — 
One if by land and two if by sea, 
And I on the opposite shore will be, 
Ready to ride and spread the alarm 
Through every Middlesex villiage and farm.' 
******* 

Meanwhile, his friend, through alley and street, 

Wanders and watches with eager ears, 

Till in the silence around him he hears 

The muster of men at the barrack door, 

The sound of arms and the tramp of feet, 

And the measured tread of the grenadiers, 

Marching down to their boats on the shore. 

Then he climbed the tower of the Old North Church, 

By the wooden stairs, with a stealthy tread, 

To the belfry-chamber overhead. 

******* 

Meanwhile, impatient to mount and ride, 
Booted and spurred, with a heavy stride 

On the opposite shore walked Paul Revere. 

******* 

And lo! as he looks on the belfry's height, 
A glimmer and then a gleam oflight ! 
He springs to the saddle, the bridle he turns, 
But lingers and gazes, till full on his sight 
A second lamp from the belfry burns ! 

*****•(!* 

It was twelve by the village clock, 

When he crossed the bridge to Medford town. 

* * * *, * * * 

It was one by the village clock, 

When he galloped into Lexington. 

* * * * * * * 

It was two by the village clock, 

When he came to the bridge in Concord town. 

******* 

You know the rest. In the books you have read, 
How the British Regulars fired and fled — 
How the farmers gave them ball for ball, 

From behind each fence and farm-yard wall. 

******* 

Through all our history, to the last, 
In the hour of darkness and peril and need, 
The people will waken and listen to hear 
The hurrying hoof-beats of that steed, 
And the midnight message of Paul Revere. 

Extract from Longfellow' 's Poem, "Paul Revere 's Pide."

BOSTON, MASS. 



HARVARD UNIVERSITY is the oldest institution of learning 
in the United States. It is situated in the beautiful city of 
Cambridge, three miles west of Boston, well known as the home of 
the poets" James Russell Lowell and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. 
Cambridge contains the celebrated Washington Elm, under which 
Washington took command of the Army of the Revolution, and 
also the house which Washington used as his headquarters at that 
time, and which was the home for many years of Longfellow. 

Harvard College has been the alma mater of some of America's 
most distinguished men, and its graduates are scattered throughout 
the world. Some of its buildings are very old, presenting a pictur- 
esque and charming appearance. 

There is a very beautiful souvenir spoon in memory of the 
founder of this great institution, John Harvard. The figure on the 
handle represents the statue erected to the memory of Harvard in 
front of Memorial Hall on the college grounds, and the name below 
is a fac-simile of his autograph. 

Under date of October 28, 1636, according to the records of 
the first English settlers in this region, the court agreed to give four 
hundred pounds towards a " Schoale or Coolidge, whereof two 
hundred pounds to bee paid yeare, and two hundred pounds when 
the worke is finished"; probably this four hundred pounds was 
never paid. It is certain that the project for a college lay in 
abeyance until the Rev. John Harvard left, by his will in 1638, 
seven hundred pounds for the erection of the college. The name 
Harvard was given to this institution in recognition of this liberal 
endowment for those days. The college is one of the wealthiest in 
this country, and in its early days received much fostering care 
from the Colonies and from the State of Massachusetts, so that it 
now offers as liberal inducements for education as any institution of 
the like nature in the world.

Pontiac was an Indian 
chief of the Ottawa tribe, 
being born in 17 12. As 
an ally of the French he 
formed, in 1762, a coali- 
tion of the Western tribes, 
which at his instigation 
committed great depreda- 
tion on the English fron- 
tier settlements. Mis 
siege of Detroit, in 1763, 
was without success. In 
the spoon is represented 
an Indian in his canoe, 
while on the handle is 
pictured Pontiac, and the 
date of the siege.

The New Haven, Conn., Spoons. 

THE "CITY OF ELMS" AND "YALE COLLEGE." 



New Haven, the City of Elms, and the 
home of Yale University, furnishes many 
pleasing opportunities for illustration, and 
one of the best has been adopted for use 
upon a souvenir spoon of after dinner coffee 
size, which is undoubtedly as dainty as has 
been produced. The bowl represents a view 
of the college fence, around which clusters 
so much of historic interest to graduates of 
Yale, previous to 1888, while in the back- 
ground shows a vista suggestive of " 'Neath 
the Elms," and "The Old Brick Row." 
"Yale, 1 701," "Fence, 1888," are artistically 
arranged below the scene, denoting the 
founding of the college, and the removal of 
the fence. The stem of the handle simulates 
a branch of an elm-tree, and bears in relief 
letters, " The City of Elms," and the date, 
" 1638," the establishment of the New Haven 
colony. The head of the handle is a bas- 
relief reproduction of the city seal, with its 
motto, " Mare Liberum." 

Another spoon by this house shows on 
the top of the handle, in relief, a reproduc- 
tion in blue enamel, with letters of silver, of 
a Yale flag so often waved successfully in 
athletic contests, and characteristic of the 
college.

THE "Washington City" Souvenir Spoon was among the very 
first which made its appearance upon the market, and has 
attained a greater popularity than any other Washington spoon from 
the fact that it actually represents the two landmarks of the national 
capital which loom up on the horizon on approach to the city from 
north, south, east, or west. 

The production of original designs of spoons, descriptive of 
buildings in cities, events of interest or persons of prominence, was 
a natural progress from the plainly engraved souvenirs, the demand 
for which had existed for several years before 1890. European 
silversmiths produced fine specimens of work in 1888, 1889, and 
1890; but to Mr. Daniel Low, of Salem, Mass., undoubtedly be- 
longs the honor of having put upon our market the first original 
design of merit, followed closely by the firm of Moore & Leding, of 
Washington City, with the artistic spoon combining the Monument 
and Capitol. 

South of the President's house stands the Monument to the 
Father of his Country, designed by Robert Mills. The idea of 
erecting it first took shape in 1833. I n l %47 the popular subscrip- 
tion amounted to $87,000, and with this sum the work was com- 
menced. The corner-stone was laid July 4, 1848, and on Dec. 
6, 1884, it was completed, and the dedication ceremonies took place 
Feb. 21, 1885. The Monument is a marble obelisk, and attains a total 
height of 555^ feet above ground on a foundation of 36^ feet, 
making a total of 592 feet, one of the loftiest works of modern or 
ancient times. The total cost of the structure has been $1,130,000. 

A miniature monument with a vine of laurel and oak, em- 
blematic of fame and strength, twining around it from top to bottom, 
forms the handle of the spoon, while the bowl shows a perfect view 
of the United States Capitol. The back of handle is exactly like 
the front. The spoons are made in sterling silver only, finished in 
bright, oxidized, or gold.

THE "Mount Vernon" Spoon, the second production of the firm 
of Moore & Leding, was created as a complement to their 
first. 

In May, 1891, the Regents of the Mount Vernon Association, 
a board of ladies, one from each State of the Union, who control 
and direct the welfare of that historic spot, met in convention. 
Many designs were submitted to them for their approval, and the 
foregoing described design was selected as the souvenir spoon of 
Mount Vernon, being the most appropriate and beautiful, and con- 
sent was given to the makers to place a case of these spoons on 
exhibition and sale on the "Macalester," the Mount Vernon boat 
which alone can land at Mount Vernon. These spoons are made in 
tea, orange, and coffee sizes, and in fancy and plain finish. It is the 
peer of any spoon produced for beauty and appropriateness. The 
coat-of-arms of the Washington family, consisting of a swan passant 
on a shield bearing three stars and two stripes, crowns the handle, 
beneath which excellent full bust pictures of George and Martha 
Washington are shown in pretty Louis XV. frames ; below are the 
dates " 1 759-1 799," indicating the time that George Washington 
lived at Mount Vernon. The stem of the spoon bears the name 
"Mount Vernon" in handsome letters. At the end of the stem is a 
wreath of laurel enclosing a star. Two furled national flags lap 
into the bowl, partially embracing the home of the Father of his 
Country. The die is the choicest it is possible to make. The 
likenesses are perfect, and the home realistic.

HENRY HUDSON, an English navigator in the employ of the 
East India Company of Holland, gave us the first knowledge 
that we have of New York Bay and Manhattan Island, the site of 
the present city of New York. He made this voyage in 1609, pro- 
ceeding up the river which now bears his name. 

It was not until three years later, 161 2, that a settlement was 
made, when a fort was built at Manhattan Island by the Dutch, and 
thus was commenced the settlement in New Amsterdam, which in 
1648 had several thousand inhabitants. The town was surrendered 
to the British in 1664, coming into the hands of the Duke of York, 
and taking from him the name of New York. Nine years afterwards 
it was retaken by the Dutch, but they held possession of it only one 
year. 

The "New Amsterdam" spoon bears at the top of the handle 
the coat-of-arms of the State of New York, and a figure of a young 
Hollander in relief, with pipe, and dressed in the old Dutch costume, 
while on the shank of the spoon is the name, in fancy lettering, 
" New Amsterdam."

IN 1893 there will be held in Chicago an Exposition of American 
products which has probably never been equalled in the history 
of America. 

At the Centennial Exposition, held in Philadelphia in 1876, 
people from all over the world flocked to see what America had 
accomplished, and there is no doubt that the year that the Exposi- 
tion is to be held in Chicago will see a greater influx of visitors than 
has ever been known in this country. 

All America joins in this celebration, and there can be no more 
fitting souvenir of this occasion than the "Chicago" Spoon. In the 
bowl is seen the setting sun, and the words, " Westward the course 
of empire takes its way." Along the shank of the spoon is en- 
twined the laurel ; in fancy lettering above this are the words, 
"Columbian Exposition, 1893," while above this again is seen the 
phoenix, symbolic of Chicago rising from the flames. At the top is 
a star and the name " Chicago."

PITTSBURGH, PENN. 



Pittsburgh, aside from its position in the 
centre of the great mining and manufactur- 
ing industries, was the theatre of many of 
the most important events of the French and 
Indian wars. The souvenir spoon of Pitts- 
burgh graphically pictures in its workman- 
ship a wealth of historical matter. 

The tip of the spoon is the seat of the 
city, being the coat-of-arms of Sir William 
Pitt (premier of England), from whom the 
city derives its name, while the stem of the 
spoon, a twisted bar, represents the iron and 
steel industries. 

The base represents the emblem of Penn- 
sylvania, the keystone of the thirteen origi- 
nal States, founded by William Penn, under 
charter granted by Charles II., in 1681. 

The fleur-de-lis, at the top of the bowl, 
was the emblem of France, whose troops oc- 
cupied Pittsburgh in 1754, and erected Fort 
Duquesne, and in 1755, with Indian allies, 
defeated Gens. Braddock and Washington at 
the battle of Braddock's Fields. The French 
evacuated Fort Duquesne in 1758 upon the 
approach of the English forces under Gens. 
Forbes and Washington. In the bowl of 
spoon is the crown of George II., king of 
England, under whose reign Fort Pitt was 
erected in 1759, while the building is a re- 
doubt of Fort Pitt, built by Col. Boquet in 
1764, and used by the English and Colonists 
as a defence against the French and Indians. 
The redoubt was occupied by State troops 
in border-line war between Pennsylvania, 
Virginia, and Maryland, which was adjusted 
by running the famous Mason and Dixon's 
Line. Gen. Anthony Wayne occupied the 
redoubt as headquarters in his campaign 
of 1792, which resulted in the final subju- 
gation of the Indians east of the Missis- 
sippi. Built of brick and stone, the re- 
doubt has withstood the ravages of time, 
and remains standing in the heart of the 
city, a monument to the heroic deeds of 
the advance guard of civilization in Penn- 
sylvania and the Great West.

OURAY, COL. 

The little town of Ouray stands in 
a magnificent amphitheatre, which, with 
the exception of a narrow gorge on the 
north end, from which you enter the 
Uncapahgre Park on your way to Mon- 
trose, is surrounded by mountains to the 
height of three thousand to six thousand 
feet above the level of the town, and 
being thus walled in is sheltered from 
storms, and as a winter residence its 
equal is not to be found in Colorado. 

No matter at what time of the year 
you visit Ouray, whether the whistle of 
the humming-bird's wings be heard as 
he darts through the flower-scented air 
of summer, or whether the snow ban- 
ners are blowing from her peaks, Ouray 
and her scenery are always delightful, 
and even indescribably beautiful. 

One of the drives which leads to 
Ouray from a neighboring town has its 
course along a mere ledge on the face 
of a cliff, while rocks tower for thousands 
of feet above, and a thousand feet below 
you flows a river. 

From a point on this road, about 
four miles before reaching Ouray, one 
of the most superb views in the West 
may be obtained, especially toward sun? 
set. About two miles farther on you 
drive across the bridge at the toll gate 
under which roars Bear Creek in its mad 
thundering rush into the river below, 
and down three hundred feet into the 
bed of the Uncapahgre River, a dizzy 
chasm into which you hardly dare look. 

Up to within a few years this was 
bridged by a narrow trail blasted along 
the face of the rock, and was covered 
by a little foot-bridge ; and more than 
one man, notably a Colorado senator, 
had to be blindfolded and led across. 

Ouray has achieved great success 
as a watering place ; its salubrious cli- 
mate, coupled with its elevation, proving 
a most delightful resort for invalids.

South Carolina, — Greenville. A great 
number of persons have selected this city, 
on account of its salubrious climate, to 
spend their summers and winters here. 
The city was named after Gen. Nathanael 
Greene, a distinguished American general 
born of old Quaker parentage in 1742. 
He was a student of the art of war, and 
in 1775 was chosen brigadier-general of 
the militia of Rhode Island. Gaining the 
confidence of Washington, he was placed 
in a prominent command, distinguishing 
himself at the battles of Brandywine and 
Germantown, and in 1778 defeating Sir 
Henry Clinton at Springfield. In 1780 
he was appointed to the command of the 
Southern army. During the next two 
years he distinguished himself by the 
strategy with which he carried on his 
operations against forces much superior 
to his own. So great was his energy and 
skill, before the end of 1781 the British 
were driven from all portions of South 
Carolina excepting the vicinity of Charles- 
ton. For his victory at Eutaw Springs a 
medal was presented to him by Congress. 
In 1785 he removed to the estate pre- 
sented to him by the State of Georgia, sit- 
uated near Savannah. He died of sun- 
stroke June 19, 1796. There is a. beautiful 
spoon commemorative of this hero. On 
the tip of the handle is a bust of Gen. 
Greene. Along the stem are the words, 
"Greenville, S. C." Within the bowl is 
the legend, "Named for our hero, Gen- 
eral Nathanael Greene, 1790."

"Cadillac," Detroit, Mich. 



Antoine Laumet dc la Mothe Cadillac, the 
founder of Detroit, was born March 5, 1658, at 
St. Nicholas de la Grave, in the Department of 
Tarn and Garonne, France. Of the early life of 
Cadillac we have no direct information. That he 
received a more than ordinary education for that 
period is evidenced by the style of his numerous 
letters and memoirs, by the difficult feats of navi- 
gation that he performed, and by the various posi- 
tions of responsibility which he was called to oc- 
cupy. The date of his first arrival in the New 
World is unknown, but history records that after 
remaining in America some years he visited 
France to obtain from Louis XIV. the privilege of 
establishing a post at Detroit. Obtaining the 
necessary authority, he returned to this country 
and arrived at Quebec on March 8, 1701. He 
proceeded at once to Detroit by way of the Otta- 
wa River and Lake Huron, arriving at Detroit 
in August, and before the end of the month the 
settlement was fully established. 

The spoon is particularly beautiful, a faith- 
ful representation of Cadillac being exhibited 
in the handsome little miniature model sur- 
mounting the handle. The model was re- 
duced from the original cast in the possession 
of Bela Hubbard, of Detroit. The stem of the 
spoon is of the Corinthian order, and the 
handle is attached to the bowl by a fleur-de-lis. 
The bowl is of the old French pattern. The 
spoon is perfect in detail, and in every par- 
ticular characteristic of the beautiful "City 
of the Straits." 

Detroit is named from the river (or strait), 
in French de troit, upon which the city is 
built. It is situated upon the Detroit River, 
about eighteen miles from Lake Erie, and 
eight miles from Lake St. Clair. 

The streets and avenues are wide .and

The 
"Bunker Hill Monu- 
ment " Spoons. 

BOSTON, MASS. 



It was two months after the first blood of 
the Revolution was shed at Lexington, that, 
on June 16, Col. Prescott was sent with a 
detachment of one thousand men to fortify 
Bunker's Hill. When the British, on the follow- 
ing morning, discovered the redoubt the Amer- 
icans had constructed during the night, they 
commenced a cannonade upon it. This failing, 
three thousand men, under Howe, were sent to 
dislodge the Americans. Two charges failed. 
Gen. Clinton arriving, the third charge was 
more successful ; the Americans, their ammuni- 
tion exhausted, were forced to retreat. About 
one thousand British and five hundred Ameri- 
cans were killed or wounded. This is an outline 
of the first real engagement of the Revolution. 
Upon the site of this battle, in Charlestown, 
now stands the monument, which is considered 
a feature of Boston. 

A very attractive spoon has been produced 
to represent this historical event and memorial, 
by Geo. E. Homer, 1 12 Tremont Street, Boston, 
Mass. The handle of the spoon is composed 
entirely of a miniature of the monument, the 
head or top of the handle depicting a portion 
of the surrounding ground. The date, " 1775," 
is finely executed on the groundwork. The 
workmanship of the details of this spoon is 
perfect, the representation conveying a graphic 
idea of the famous monument. The oxidizing 
enhances the general effect.

So 



HARTFORD was permanently settled in 1635 by an English 
colony from Massachusetts, the name being given by one of 
the leading settlers, Mr. Stone, who was born in Hartford, England. 
Previous to the settlement of the Colony, the Dutch had erected a 
fort at a place called " Dutch Point," which is now a part of the city. 
The Indian name of Hartford was " Suckiaug." Sir Edmund Andros 
was sent over by James II. in 1686 to obtain the charters granted 
to the Colony. The Assembly was in session upon his arrival at 
Hartford, and while the subject was under consideration the lights 
were suddenly extinguished and the charter secretly conveyed away 
and concealed in the cavity of an old oak. This tree is called 
"Charter Oak." After the deposition of Andros, the charter was 
resumed and continued in force until 1818, when the present Con- 
stitution was adopted. 

This tree is said to have been preserved by the early settlers at 
the request of the Indians. "It has been the guide of our ancestors 
for centuries," they said; "as to the time of planting our corn, 
when the leaves are the size of a mouse's ear, then is the time to 
put it in the ground." 

A fac-simile of the old tree appears upon the spoons. The 
"Nutmeg" Spoon is very beautiful, and commemorates the com- 
mercial instincts of the State.

THE site of St. Louis was selected by Laclede in 1764 as pos- 
sessing peculiar advantages for the fur trade and defence 
against the Indians, as it is situated nearly at the entrance of the 
Missouri into the Mississippi, it being only twenty miles below the 
junction of the rivers. 

It soon became of vast importance to the fur industry, and had 
a rapid growth. In 1768 a Spanish officer by the name of Rious, 
with a company of Spanish troops, took possession of St. Louis in 
the name of Spain, and it remained in their tenure until its transfer 
to the United States in 1804. In 1822, St. Louis was chartered as a 
city under the name given by Laclede in honor of Louis XV. of 
France. 

Among the beautiful spoons which are gotten out at St. Louis 
is the "G. A. R." Spoon. At the top of the handle is an eagle upon 
a cross, cannon and ball, from which is pendent a five-cornered star, 
the badge of the Order. The stem of the handle has thirteen stars, 
representing the thirteen original States. 

One of the St. Louis spoons has the head of St. Louis in the 
bowl. Another has in the bowl the representation of Eads Bridge, 
while at the top of the handle is the crown of France and three 
fleur-de-lis. There is still another pattern called the " Fleur-de 
lis " figure, which has at the top of the handle the fleur-de-lis, while 
in the bowl are the State arms of Missouri.

PEEKSKILL, N. Y. 



Chauncey M. Depcw was born in the 
beautiful village of Peekskill, N. Y., the 
picturesque valley of the Hudson, and is 
to-day in the vigor of his manhood, the 
noblest type of an American citizen. 

Chauncey M. Depevv, known to the 
world as the " silver-tongued orator of 
America," is no less the man of business 
than a philosopher. Man, woman and 
child claim him as " Our Chauncey," not 
the least as fearing his greatness, nor the 
greatest as exempt from his influence. 

Chauncey M. Depew's life and charac- 
ter are without a parallel in this gener- 
ation ; the value of his thoughtful mind, 
the wisdom of his sense, the 
beauty of his speech, are the 
pride of the nation ; and to 
every boy in America's common 
schools, and to every young 
man in America's colleges, are 
an inspiration to vie with each 
other to approach the acme of 
his perfection. Peekskill pre- 
eminently claims Chauncey M. 
Depew as her own ; every hill, 
every valley, every wood and 
dale which gives picturcsquc- 
ness to its situation, is the source 
of affection, of reminiscence, 
and of story, in which " Our 
Chauncey" delights. 

Peekskill, the birthplace of 
Chauncey M. Depew, sends forth 
its souvenir spoon, conscious 
that the designer and silver- 
smith have gracefully wrought 
in silver and gold a correct and 
exquisite likeness of her illus- 
trious son.

San Francisco, Cal. 



The first settlement of San Francisco was 
made by the Spaniards about the year 1778. 
Its first name was Yerba Buena, until it was 
occupied by the Americans. The first 
discovery of gold was made at Sutter's 
Settlement, then called New Helvetia, in 
December, 1847. Early in 1848 the news 
spread to the four quarters of the globe, and 
adventurers from all parts of the world came 
to this new El Dorado. San Francisco had 
a magnificent harbor, thus making the port 
the great rendezvous for arriving vessels. 
From this point dates the prosperity of the 
Californian metropolis. 

The handle of .the spoon is surmounted 
by the seal of San Francisco, while below is 
a miner's pick and shovel, with the words 
" San Francisco " entwining the same.

" Westward Ho I" Tea Spoon. 

FOR SALE BY 

REILLY, CURTIS & CO., 

Jewelers, 
95 Washington St., Chicago, 111. 



"Westward Ho!" and 
"World's Fair City." 

CHICAGO, ILL. 

The " World's Fair City " Spoon is a 
most fitting souvenir of the city in which is 
to be held during 1893 the great Colum- 
bian Exposition in commemoration of the 
discovery of the New World. 

The bowl of the spoon shows in a very 
spirited manner a group of Indians watch- 
ing the approach of the Columbus fleet of 
discovery. Underneath, in quaint, old- 
fashioned looking figures, is the date 
" 1492." On the handle there is a full- 
length figure of the great discoverer in 
bas-relief, with a representation of the 
western hemisphere for a background. 
The handle itself is a miniature of the 
Proctor Steel Tower, which is to be erected 
on the Fair grounds. On the back of the 
handle in raised letters are the words, " The 
World's Fair City." 

The "Westward Ho!" Spoon tells a 
story interesting to thousands, East and 
West. In the bowl is shown the " Prairie 
Schooner," with its ox-team, the adventur- 
ous pioneer, and picturesque guide. The 
handle, formed of a representation of a 
" blacksnake" whip, carries the rifle, pick, 
and shovel of the gold seeker, surmounted 
by a typical Indian head.

The 
" Saratoga " Spoon. 

Saratoga Springs, one of the most 
fashionable watering places upon the 
American Continent, owes its celebrity 
almost solely to its mineral springs, for 
the surrounding country possesses few if 
any extraordinary attractions. Saratoga 
Lake, a beautiful sheet of water, is 
within a few miles' drive, while Glen's 
Falls on the Hudson are within reach 
of a short carriage drive. 

This spot is said to have been vis- 
ited by invalids as early as 1773, but 
Congress Springs, whose water is now 
in the greatest request, was not dis- 
covered until 1792. 

It is said that the Indians knew of 
the existence of these springs and their 
medicinal value many years ago, long 
before the white man discovered them. 

In the vicinity of the springs was 
fought the battle of Saratoga, Saratoga 
Springs, and Stillwater, in 1777. 

A charming spoon, as a beautful 
souvenir of America's great spa, and 
as a memento of Fenimore Cooper's 
immortal character, Uncas, the last of 
the Mohicans, has been made by the 
silversmith. The handle is represented 
by a paddle, propeller of the silent 
craft. At the back of the paddle rises 
a quiver of arrows, and bound to the 
shaft are two bows. On the blade is an 
exquisite and miniature figure of Uncas 
drinking from High Rock Spring as it 
originally appeared. The word " Sara- 
toga" is traced beneath in artistic letters. 
Thus in a small compass of a dainty 
spoon we have the important imple- 
ments of the primitive red man, a 
symbol of a great tribe who drank from 
the world-famous springs we flock to 
drink from now. Thus in this spoon 
we find a souvenir of a whole region 
made famous by Cooper.

Probably there is no so- 
ciety in the world that has 
created such a revolution in 
the customs of mankind as 
the Woman's Christian Tem- 
perance Union. The begin- 
ning of the great reform 
began in the Little Crusade 
Church in Hillsboro. 

The culmination of this 
great reform is emblem ized 
in the representation of the 
world, which is in the top of 
the spoon, belted with a white 
ribbon, and the badge of the 
society at the extreme end ; 
while the medallion of the 
president of the National and 
the World's W. C. T. U. is 
embowered in the national 
floral emblem, the trailing 
arbutus. On the reverse side 
is the world's floral emblem, 
the water lily, as are also the 
initials of the great official of 
the publishing house which 
secured the production of the 
spoon. The "W. C. T. U." 
Souvenir Spoon is unlike all 
others. It stands for a cause ; 
not for any one distinguished 
person, but for a work in 
which hundreds of thousands 
of the noblest women are 
engaged. Not for any his- 
toric event, save as it reminds 
us of the starting point of a 
wonderful movement, not for 
any locality, for the limits 
of its possibilities are found 
only in the boundaries of the 
world. Persons, places, events 
may be forgotten, but a prin- 
ciple will stand forever. 



* "Macon, Georgia," Spoon. 



The head of the handle of the spoon 
is a miniature reproduction, perfect in 
detail, of the "Private Soldier" in marble 
that adorns the crown of the Confederate 
Soldiers' Monument, erected at the inter- 
section of Mulberry and Second Streets, 
in Macon, and which was' unveiled on 
Oct. 29, 1879. 

Within the bowl is seen a relief repre- 
sentation of "Fort Hawkins," built by the 
United States government in 1806, serving 
as an edifice of defence against the 
Indians, as well as a trading post. From 
this point Macon, the "Central City" of 
Georgia, sprang into existence.

The esteem and admiration in which 
Senator Vance is held by his fellow- 
countrymen have caused a beautiful sou- 
venir spoon to be made, called "North 
Carolina's Souvenir of Vance." This 
elegant piece of workmanship has on 
the handle of each spoon, in bas-relief, 
a striking likeness of North Carolina's 
favorite son. Zeb Vance was born in 
Buncombe County, North Carolina, and 
is 61 years of age. He was educated 
at the University of North Carolina for 
the bar, and filled many offices in the 
gift of the State. 

He has three times been governor 
of North Carolina, and has been for four 
terms elected to the United States 
Senate. He is exceedingly clever, and 
is said to be one of the most delightful 
companions. A polished story teller, 
he makes one of the most interesting 
and popular orators, which makes him 
in demand at all gatherings, whether 
public or private. When the Rebellion 
broke out he doubted the expediency 
of the secession, but followed his State 
and became one of the most popular of 
war governors.

The scene of " Hiawatha," 
one of Longfellow's most no- 
ble poems, Onondaga Lake, 
is the site of the present city 
of Syracuse, New York. 

Hiawatha called the six 
tribes to assemble on the 
bank of Onondaga Lake, and 
for three days the council 
fire blazed before Hiawatha 
arrived ; at length he ap- 
peared, gliding over the wa- 
ters of the lake in a white 
canoe. 

The following verse ex- 
plains the scene upon the 
handle of the tea spoon com- 
memorating Hiawatha : — 

' ' Then upon one knee uprising, 
Hiawatha aimed an arrow ; 
Scarce a leaf was stirred or 

rustled, 
Scarce a twig moved with his 

motion, 
But the wary roebuck started, 
Listened with one foot uplifted, 
Leaped as if to meet the arrow. 1 ' 

And the story of the 
portrait in the coffee 
spoon is told by the fol- 
lowing: — 

" In his fingers Hiawatha 
Felt the loose line jerk and 

tighten ; 
As he drew it in, it tugged so 
That the birch canoe stood 

endwise, 
Like a birch-log in the 
water." 
Longfellow's Hiawatha. 

Syracuse is remarkable 
as the seat of the most 
extensive and valuable 
salt manufactures in the 
United States.

Honesdale, Pa. 



The ' ' Stourbridge 
Lion " was so called 
from the manufactur- 
ing town in which it 
was built, Stourbridge, 
Eng., and the face of 
the lion which adorned 
the front of the boiler 
of the first locomotive 
ever run upon a rail- 
road in America. It 
was built in 1828, by 
Foster, Rastick & Co., 
for and imported by 
the Delaware & Hud- 
son Canal Co. in 1829. 
On the 8th day of Au- 
gust of that year, it 
was placed upon the 
rails of their road at Honesdale, Pa. Of its trial trip, 
an eye-witness, who is still living, says: "Intelligent 
spectators expressed fears that in being run over the 
curve trestling, which crosses the Lackawaxen, it would 
leave the track and plunge into the stream. But Horatio 
Allen, Esq., who superintended its trial, replied that to 
avoid unnecessary risk of personal harm, he would alone 
make the first trip over the curved trestling. Stepping 
on the platform, he put on the steam slowly, until 
approaching the curve, he put on more steam, and 
with a majestic appearance it ran with good speed 
and safety over the curved trestling, and onward to 
Seely's Pond. There he reversed the motion and 
ran back to Honesdale, greeted with booming 
of cannon, and the shouts and cheers of the as- 
sembled spectators. This was the first running of 
any locomotive in America." 

The embossing upon the souvenir spoons fur- 
nishes an exact representation of the engine and 
the medallion which gave it its name. The spokes 
and felloes of the driving engine were of wood, 
the hubs and tires of iron. 

About midway of the spokes the wheels were 
suspended by an iron plate on the outside. Other 
differences between the first locomotive and those 
of the present day are shown upon the souvenir. 
The track, upon which the engine run, was equally 
primitive, the rails being scrap iron spiked to hem- 
lock timbers laid on cross ties. The head of the 
lion is a correct copy of Rosa Bonheur's famous 
painting. Below the lion's head are the date, " Oc- 
tober 29," and the words, "Honesdale, Pa." It 
was thus from this city that was started the first 
locomotive ever run upon a railroad in America

"Coal Breaker " Souvenir Spoon. 



POTTSVILLE, PENN. 



Pennsylvania, the Keystone State of 
the Union, the birthplace and home of 
Liberty, renowned for its wealth, indus- 
tries, and unbounded mineral resources, 
the only place in the whole world 
where anthracite coal is found in abun- 
dance, has a souvenir spoon sym- 
bolic of that vast and dangerous busi- 
ness which is peculiar to this State alone 
— the mining of coal. So few people 
outside of Pennsylvania know anything 
about the production of the dusky car- 
bons that brighten and warm their 
homes, that it seems eminently proper 
that the souvenir spoon should come 
from the heart of the coal region. 
The design portrays the William Penn 
colliery, probably the best known coal 
mine in the State, justly celebrated 
for its extensive workings and its un- 
surpassed facilities for mining and pre- 
paring a superior grade of coal. Sit- - 
uated in the centre of the Schuylkill 
coal region, its size, importance, and 
above all, bearing the name of the 
founder of the State* makes its selection 
particularly appropriate. The designer, 
while giving a vivid idea of what a 
"coal breaker" is, has brought into 
prominent view the ever-present and 
familiar mine mules hauling the loaded 
mine cars to the breaker, where the 
coal is to be prepared for market.

The "Lord Timothy 
Dexter" Spoon. 

NEWBURYPORT, MASS. 



" Ime the first Lord in the younited States of A mercary Now 
of Newburyport it is the voise of the peopel and I cant help it." 

Timothy Dexter. 

A recent writer has said Sancho Panza never 
longed to be governor more than Timothy Dexter 
longed to be a lord. However, not being to the 
"manor born," Dexter assumed the title, which 
answered his purpose as well. He married a 
widow with some money, and by industry and 
frugality added to his wealth. He speculated in 
Continental securities, and soon found himself 
possessed of a fair competency. In early life he 
moved to Newburyport, and bought a fine estate 
on its principal street. He embellished the house 
and grounds after his own peculiar ideas, erecting 
some fifty wooden pillars, on which were placed 
carved figures representing living statesmen and 
dead heroes. The names attached were frequently 
changed ; so, it is said, Gen. Morgan became 
Bonaparte, and as such was sa- 
luted by Dexter when he passed 
before him. 

Among the most famous of 
Dexter 1 s speculations was send- 
ing warming-pans to the West 
Indies. As the story goes, he 
was advised to send them to be 
used in their original capacity ; 
but the native sugar-makers used 
them for dipping out syrup, and 
the covers as strainers of the 
same substance. 

Dexter in the high tide of his 
prosperity had literary aspira- 
tions, and wrote his famous 
" Pickle for the Knowing Ones." 
He put no punctuation points in 
the body of the book, but cov- 
ered the last page with them, and 
added this note : " furder mister 
printer the Nowing complane of 
my book had no stops I put in 
a Nuf here and they may peper 

and solt it as they plese." 

The spoon commemorative 

of this odd individual bears 

on the front of the handle a 

full-length portrait, with the 

word " Newburyport," while 

on the back is an accurate 

representation of the famous 

warming-pan.

"Southern or Lee" Spoon. 



LEXINGTON, VA. 



The hero of the Southern armies 
during the war was Gen. Robert E. 
Lee, no one being more beloved and 
more universally honored and respected 
on both sides than this great man. A 
son of Col. Harry Lee, better known in 
the Revolutionary War as " Light Horse 
Harry," he inherited the ability for 
commanding men, and was also edu- 
cated at West Point, so that when the 
war broke out he became very soon a 
commander of the Southern forces. 

During the late war he was pitted 
against some of the ablest generals of 
the North, and in the struggles which 
ensued proved himself an able and 
capable general. He is considered by 
all late writers as one of the foremost 
generals of modern times. 

The " Lee " Spoon bears at the top 
of the handle, in heavy raised work, a 
bust of Gen. Lee, designed from a pho- 
tograph taken from life, and pronounced 
by eminent critics to be the best picture 
extant of the subject. The bowl shows 
in miniature, behind draped curtains, 
an exact reproduction of the sarcopha- 
gus in the mausoleum of the Washington 
and Lee University. The recumbent 
figure is pronounced by art critics to be 
the finest piece of sculpture in marble 
to be found in America.

JAMES MIX, 

5 Beaver Street, ALBANY.N. Y. 



Scho-negh-ta-da was the Indian name 
of Albany, meaning " Over the Plains." 

In the coat-of-arms of the State of New 
York, the early history of Albany seems 
to be depicted. 

In the spoon which James Mix has 
conceived, at the head of the handle is 
displayed, in relief, the coat-of-arms of the 
State, consisting of an Indian on the right, 
and a Dutchman on the left of a shield, 
showing the earliest commercial products, 
wheat, and fur of the beaver. At the first 
settlement of Albany the beaver was so 
plentiful that the name given to it was 
Beverwick (in English, Beaver Town). 
When the town passed into the hands of 
the English, which was during the reign of 
Charles II.', it was named Albany, in com- 
pliment to James II. of England, who was 
then Duke of York and Albany. 

A full view of the new Capitol is dis- 
played in the spoon. The central tower 
will be 365 feet high, and makes an 
imposing appearance. The structure is 
400 feet long and 300 feet wide, and 
covers an area of three acres. Maine and 
New Hampshire furnish the granite. This 
magnificent and majestic structure will, 
when completed, have cost the sum of 
twenty million dollars ($20,000,000), and 
will be the grandest edifice of its kind in 
America.

The "Pabst" Spoon. 

MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



From Milwaukee, Wis., comes a 
"Beer" Spoon. It is of an elaborate 
and beautiful design, and is one of the 
most artistic spoons ever made, being 
in every way symbolical of the great 
beer industry of Milwaukee. It is a 
large-sized tea spoon of sterling silver, 
of the new and fashionable gray finish, 
being partly oxidized. There are 
wreaths of hop-vines and barley around 
the handle, making a graceful and artis- 
tic garland. On the face of the handle 
there is a medallion of an old German 
beer mug, and below this the famous 
hopleaf trade-mark bearing the familiar 
inscription, "Age, Purity, and Strength." 
Out of compliment to one of Milwau- 
kee's most enterprising citizens, the 
makers of this souvenir spoon have 
christened it the "Pabst," and have 
placed in relief in the bowl a perfect 
representation of the Pabst brewery, 
the largest institution of the kind in the 
world. The die from which the spoon 
is cut is pronounced by experts to be 
the finest example of artistic die cut- 
ting ever attempted in America.

[N the year 1777, the United Colonies were struggling to free 
themselves from what they considered the oppression of Great 
Britain. Everything seemed against them. One of the most 
pwerful nations in the world was then trying to keep 'in subjec- 
ion a few feeble Colonies scattered over a large extent of country, 
nostly wilderness. Then, as now, the strong was able to conquer 
he weak, and these few people striving against such odds were well- 
iigh discouraged. Vermont was not then admitted to the Union of 
states, but her sons were busy in promoting measures for the 
Jefence of their lands and firesides. Burgoyne was on his vic- 
orious march through from Canada, and at Saratoga learned that 
he "Green Mountain boys" had a lot of stores and munitions of 
pr at Bennington. He thereupon despatched Col. Baum with a 
brce to capture these stores. But he found that the " Green 
fountain boys" were awake to their danger, and led on by Gen. 
|>tark, met Baum and his troops before they could arrive at Ben- 
ington, gave them battle and brought the British into Bennington 
,.s prisoners, instead of conquerors. This battle was the first real 
uccess of the struggle for liberty, and followed by others, led very 
0011 to the surrender of Burgoyne and his army. All this, this 
poon is intended to commemorate. On the front of the handle, in 
aised die work, is the name "Bennington" and the date " 1777"; 
Uso, a perfect fac-simile of the Monument, now completed, 301 
eet in height. On the back, the raised figure of a flint-lock 
nusket, with fixed bayonet, such as our forefathers used to good 
:ffect in their struggle for independence.

THE Brooklyn "Historical" Spoon illustrates certain landmarks 
in the history of Brooklyn which have had a marked influence 
upon its growth and prosperity. Familiar subjects were selected to 
interest " Old Brooklynites," the object being to produce a souve- 
nir having both historical and artistic value. 

The subject is "the old in contrast with the new." The legend 
in raised letters upon the handle, " Breuckelen, 1667," relates to the 
charter granted in 1667 to certain individuals named therein, to in- 
corporate the village of " Breuckelen." 

The old Brooklyn Church, a pioneer for the " City of 
Churches," which stood upon what is now known as Fulton Street, 
between Bridge and Lawrence Streets, in 1776, is an exact reproduc- 
tion of that quaint old church building. 

The Fulton Ferry scene of 1746 is also an exact reproduction, 
showing the old ferry landing very near its present location at the 
foot of Fulton Street, and the method of crossing the East River 
nearly one hundred and fifty years ago. 

In contrast with the old ferry is the Brooklyn Bridge, opened 
to the public in 1883. The view is at an angle from the New York 
side, and is an excellent miniature reproduction of the bridge and 
river scenes.

THE name of John Greenleaf Whittier is so delicately yet strongly woven into 
the life of to-day, that the "Whittier" Souvenir Spoon comes to us as quite the 
gift we desire ; bearing with it a strong touch of remembrance, and placing before 
us, in neat form, the incidents of his life which have been most prominent as one 
looks down the years which have received so much of added grace and goodness 
from the pen of this poet. The spoons are of exquisite design and workmanship, 
bearing reproductions of his birthplace, home, and his portrait, all developed in 
tender lines of silver. 

The Whittier birthplace stands about three miles outside of Haverhill, and is 
an old farm-house. In this house the poet was born eighty-five years ago, and 
there can be seen at the present day the identical nail on which he used to hang 
his watch, and the broad open fireplace before which he wrote " Snow-Bound. " 
The place is the goal of numerous travellers from all over the country. A story 
which has been beautifully told by the venerable poet in a poem entitled the 
" Captain's Well," is very happily commemorated in a spoon. 

Capt. Valentine Bagley was wrecked off the coast of Africa, July 10, 1792, 
and for fifty-one days wandered over the deserts, suffering intensely for food and 
water. Reduced almost to insanity, in his despair, he made a vow to God, prom- 
ising that should he be restored to his native land none should suffer with thirst as 
he. He was rescued, and upon his return home, in the fulfilment of that vow, in 
1796 he dug the well which, with the exception of a few years, has been kept open 
to the public. 

" Pity me, God; for I die of thirst; 
Take me out of the land accursed; 
And if ever I reach my home again, 
Where earth has springs and the sky has rain, 
I will dig a well for passers by, 
And none shall suffer for thirst as I."

NO other city in the United States offers better opportunities for 
the commemoration of historical events than Philadelphia. 
The early Colonial epoch of our history is made memorable by the 
high statesmanship and brilliant personality of William Penn, the 
father of our Commonwealth ; while the distinguished part Phila- 
delphia took in the struggles which led to the formation of our 
government have gained for her the proud title of the " Cradle of 
Liberty." Reminders of the Revolutionary War abound in Philadel- 
phia, but the two which have been chosen are the most famous in 
history, and are familiar to every schoolboy in the land, — the " Old 
Liberty Bell " and " Independence Hall." Philadelphia was planned 
and settled by William Penn, after a regular purchase from the 
Indians, ratified by a treaty in due form. The name Philadelphia 
(brotherly love) was given by Penn, both in reference to the ancient 
city of that name in Asia Minor, and from principles which it em- 
bodied that he had so much at heart. The object of this celebrated 
man in settling this place was, to use his own words, " to afford an 
asylum to the good and oppressed of all nations, to frame a govern- 
ment which might be an example to show men as free and happy as 
they could be." In this city met most of the Congresses of the Rev- 
olution, and that world-renowned instrument, the Declaration of 
Independence, was read from a stand in the State House yard by 
Capt. John Hopkins, July 4, 1776. There is no society in the world 
so exclusive as the old Quaker families of Philadelphia. As a basis 
of outline the popular and beautiful Louis XIV. style has been 
chosen for the spoon commemorative of the city. A likeness of 
Penn, which appears on the handle, is taken from the only authen- 
tic portrait of him, painted to his order when he was twenty-two 
years old, and now in the possession of the Historical Society of 
Philadelphia. The Old Liberty Bell and Independence Hall are 
from photographic reproductions, while on the tip of the handle is 
a miniature keystone, the well-known symbol of the State of Penn- 
sylvania.

NEARLY four centuries ago (15 12), on Easter Sunday, Ponce 
de Leon, a gallant old Spanish soldier, came in sight of a 
flowery land which he called Elorida. Landing near what is now 
St. Augustine, he searched in vain for the magical fountain which 
would restore his youth and the gold that would restore him to his 
king's favor. 

Fifty years later (1565), the foundation of the oldest town in 
the United States may be said to have been laid in blood, for 
Menendez, of the Spanish navy, massacred on its site over one 
hundred French Huguenots. Thus, the Spaniards, being left in full 
possession, began to think of fortification and defence. Very soon 
there arose the wooden fort of San Juan de Pinos, afterwards taken 
by Sir Francis Drake. Then the Spaniards commenced building 
the coquina fort of San Marco, which was fruitlessly besieged by the 
British in 1702, and in 1704 was cannonaded by Oglethorpe for 
forty days without effect. 

St. Augustine is the only walled city in the United States. The 
walls were constructed about the year 1600, and were built entirely 
of coquina, and extend from the old fort around the city. The 
walls were protected by a deep moat crossed by drawbridges. 

Among the disappearing landmarks, the pillars of the ancient 
"City Gates" stand, indisputable monuments of the past, when the 
people of St. Augustine rejoiced in the security which their " City 
Gates " insured. In the modern history of this old city, tourists 
have often been disappointed because they found no evidences of 
fine Spanish architecture ; but now the eye is delighted with a veri- 
table palace, whose towers, loggias, porticos, courts filled with 
tropical plants and crystal fountains, and whose every incident of 
interior decoration is a perfect portrayal of the Spanish renaissance. 

ST. AUGUSTINE. 

In the realm of flowers, a perfumed land, 
Girt by the sea, by soft winds fanned ; 
Ravaged by war in years grown old. 
Its former glory, a tale long told, 
Stands the quaint old Spanish city. 

The scene of many a hard-fought fight, 
Of many a siege, when Spanish might 
Was o'er the land ; in its decay, 
It hath a beauty to live alway, 
That quaint old Spanish city.

The design on the left is made in Tea, 
Coffee, and Orange sizes, while that on the 
right is made only in the size and shape 
illustrated, but is admirably adapted for 
either a Bonbon or Sugar Spoon. Various 
designs etched in the bowl at an additional 
cost, according to the work. 



This historic spoon is one of the most 
interesting in the market, owing to the 
many stories of adventures connected with 
the life of the old hero, < ten. Putnam. 
His escape down the St. Lawrence, his 
saving Fort Edwards, his rescue by Mo- 
lang during the French and Indian War. 
also his services at Saratoga, Ticonderoga, 
and his ride down Horse Neck during the 
Revolution, — these, in addition to that of 
his first victory, as told in the minor de- 
tails of the ornamentation, are stories Lo 
which the children listen with wide-eyed 
wonder. These spoons, as designed by 
George E. Shaw & Co., are not burdened 
by ornamentation, but give a most admi- 
rable likeness of the grand old general in 
his military coat and cocked hat, which 
give his rank as a Revolutionary hero. 
The likeness occupies the central and 
prominent panel of the spoon. Above 
this is seen an admirably executed head of 
" Pomfret's she wolf," the killing of which 
rid the early settlers of Connecticut of a 
terror. The flint-lock queen's arm and powder-horn in use at that 
time are depicted in fac-simile below the medallion. The fact that the 
model for this was the veritable gun used by Putnam to kill the wolf, 
adds much interest to this detail of the ornamentation. The spoon is 
also embellished with oak and laurel leaves as emblems of patriotism 
and victory. Fitting indeed is it that this story above all others should 
be chosen for the " Gen. Putnam " Spoon, as it was his first victory and at 
once marked him as a leader where nerve and courage were required. 
Another fact that makes it singularly appropriate for the design is 
that the old English crest of the Putnam family is a wolf's head.

PUTNAM, Conn., has a souvenir spoon which tells the story of 
Gen. Israel Putnam's life in a most pleasing manner. Every 
one remembers how Gen. Putnam entered the cave and brought 
out the wolf. The story of this incident in the general's life was so 
gracefully told in the old " American Preceptor," a book our grand- 
parents read out of in the public schools, that it became of world- 
wide fame, and has been dramatized, as we know, in at least one 
transatlantic family, for the special amusement and great excitement 
of an interesting group of young children. 

The spoon shows the wolf's head, with open mouth and blood- 
thirsty tongue, above a most excellent medallion likeness of Gen. 
Putnam, dressed in Continental uniform, with cocked hat and 
epaulets, and powder-horn slung below for the handle of the spoon ; 
and for the shank is seen a copy from the real gun of the old 
Queen Anne fowling-piece loaned for the daring expedition to Gen. 
Putnam as being the best and surest gun owned by any of the 
wolf-hunting party. This gun is now owned by Mr. Robert Sharpe, 
of Brooklyn, N. Y., and when the stock stands on the floor a 
man must be pretty tall whose head reaches higher in the air than 
the mouth of the barrel of this historical weapon.

W. H. WILLIAMS & SON, 

Established in TS4-, Patentees and Sole Manufacturers, 
No. 12 NORTH PEARL STREET, ALBANY, N. Y. 



ALBANY, the capital of New York, is beautifully situated on the 
banks of the Hudson River, about one hundred and forty 
miles north of New York City. 

It is advantageously situated for commerce, being at the head 
of sloop navigation on the Hudson, communicating by means of 
canals with Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, and Lake Champlain. 

The Dutch established a trading post on Castle Island, directly 
above the present site of Albany, in 1614. 

In 1623, where the city now stands, Fort Orange was erected. 

The city rejoiced under several names during the old Dutch 
regime, among them being the name of Beverwyck. 

A beautiful historical souvenir spoon is issued called the 
''Beverwyck Spoon," from this early name of the city. 

At the top of the handle is an accurate representation of the 
Capitol of the city, a magnificent structure which has been over 
twenty years building, and cost $20,000,000. 

On the handle of the spoon is a representation of the beaver 
gnawing the tree wherewith to build his dam, while in the bowl of 
the spoon is a representation of a fish and net, which also calls to 
mind the old Dutch name of " fyke." 

Joseph Jefferson, the famous actor, who has delighted the 
public for the last generation, has a very beautiful souvenir spoon 
gotten up in his honor, representing him in Rip Van Winkle. The 
most accurate representation of Jefferson in this character with his 
dog is illustrated at the top of the handle of the spoon, while at the 
head of the bowl is represented one of the old Dutch bowlers to 
whom he was indebted for his long sleep. 

In the bowl of the spoon is given a toast which Jefferson sent 
himself to the makers: "Here's to your good health, and your 
family's, and may they all live long and prosper."

JACOBS BROTHERS, 

JEWELERS, 
1229 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE, WASHINGTON, D. C. 



ARLINGTON contains the largest and most important of the eighty-two mil- 
itary burial-grounds established throughout the country by the United States 
government. It contains the graves of over 16,000 soldiers, the most interesting 
monument in the cemetery being the granite tomb erected over the remains of 
2,111 unknown soldiers gathered from the battle-fields of Bull Run and on the 
route to the Rappahannock. The estate comprises 1,160 acres, and was originally 
part of the vast land grant made to Robert Howson by Sir William Berkeley, 
governor of Virginia in the reign of George II. The present Arlington estate 
was purchased by John Custis, the great-grandfather of George Washington Parke 
Custis, and remained in the possession of his descendants until the beginning of 
the Rebellion, when it was confiscated to the United States government. Subse- 
quently the government paid $150,000 for it to George Washington Custis Lee, the 
eldest son of the great Confederate leader. Gen. Lee's home, which is at Arling- 
ton, consists of a large centre building with two wings. It is constructed of brick 
covered with stucco, and has a frontage of 140 feet. The building is majestic in 
appearance, commands a magnificent view^and has additional historical interest 
from the fact that it was at one time inhabited by George Washington and his wife . 

The Garfield statue, by John Q. A. Ward, stands at the Maryland Avenue 
entrance to the Capitol Park. It was erected by President Garfield's comrades of 
the Army of the Cumberland, in 1887. The statue is of bronze, and cost $33,500. 
The pedestal, with the recumbent figures, representing the Student, the Warrior, 
and the Statesman, was erected by Congress at a cost of $31,500. The total 
height of the statue is eighteen feet. 

The Capitol occupies a commanding site on what is known as Capitol Hill. 
The corner-stone of the old Capitol, which now forms the centre of the imposing 
building, was laid by Gen. Washington on the 18th day of September, 1794. The 
old Capitol is really the work of Benjamin Henry Latrobe, a famous English archi- 
tect of the time. He began rebuilding the Capitol after the British had burned it in 
1 8 14, and continued his work of restoration till 18 17, when he resigned, and was 
replaced by Charles Bullfinch, a Bostonese architect. The latter followed Latrobe's 
plans in all particulars, and finished the building in 1827. The wings, which are of 
white marble, were added in 1851, and were designed by Thomas U. Walter, of 
Philadelphia, who prepared also the drawings for the dome. In 1867 the Capitol 
oT the United States of America was completed. 

The Capitol is 751 feet long and 324 feet wide, covering nearly four acres of 
ground. The total height from the base line of the eastern front of the building 
to the crest of the statue of Freedom which surmounts the dome is 307 1-2 feet. 
The diameter of the dome is 135 1-2 feet. The ground floor of the north wing is 
occupied by the Senate, and contains the famous bronze door designed by Randolph 
Rogers. The south wing contains the Hall of Representatives. On this floor are 
also the great Rotunda, the National Statuary Hall, the Library of Congress, and 
the Supreme Court Room. The Rotunda is in the centre of the original Capitol, 
and is 180 feet high. 

Horatio Greenough's celebrated statue of George Washington occupies a 
position on the eastern grounds of the building, facing the grand portico. The 
grounds around the Capitol have been tastefully laid out. The total amount appro- 
priated by Congress since 1800 for the construction of the Capitol is $15,000,000.

Read what is said by Boston's celebrated divine, 
the Rev. Joseph Cook: — 

Cliff Seat, May 4, 1891. 
F. W. Sim & Co., Jewelers, Troy, N. Y. : 

Gentlemen, — You are to be congratulated on the 
choice of the design for your souvenir spoon of 
Lake George. Rogers' Rock and Rogers' Slide 
are of special interest to me, as I have had for 
several years a summer house at the summit of 
Rogers' Rock Heights. 

The great historic interest of Fort Ticonderoga 
and Mount Defiance will make patriotic Americans 
much your debtors for the beautiful design of your 
Fort Ticonderoga-Ethan Allen Souvenir Spoon. 
The ruins of the fort have been a playground to 
me from my youth, and I now own the top of 
Mount Defiance, and so I venture to congratulate 
you. 

Very respectfully yours, 

JOSEPH COOK.

A SOUVENIR ot Lake George that will bring to mind so much 
that is bright and pleasant will be eagerly sought after by all, 
and will strike a key-note in the hearts of the multitude of lovers of 
this beautiful lake. The design of this souvenir spoon is intended 
not only to depict its historic reminiscence, but in a graceful manner 
set forth its most attractive pleasures and sports, which recall mem- 
ories of many happy enjoyments of this romantic summer resort. 
Together with the pleasures illustrated on the face of the handle, 
— rowing, fishing, etc., — the historic reminiscence is portrayed by 
"Rogers' Slide," which takes its name from the following incident: 
In the winter of 1757, Major Robert Rogers was sent with a com- 
pany of rangers to make observations at Ticonderoga ; there he fell 
in with a party of the enemy, and the result was that the English 
were totally defeated. Rogers escaped, and, pursued by the enemy, 
made for the summit of this mountain, which has a smooth rock 
running from the top to the water's edge. When Rogers arrived at 
the brow of the precipice, he threw his luggage down the steep wall, 
and then, reversing himself on his snowshoes, made his way down a 
ravine to the lake. The savages followed his tracks to the edge, 
where the track of the snowshoes seemed lost in the path made by 
the sliding of the luggage. Expecting, of course, that he had gone 
down, and knowing that he could never have reached the bottom 
alive, judge of their surprise when they saw the brave officer mak- 
ingjOff on the ice toward Fort William Henry. Probably they took 
it for granted that he had actually gone down the steep wall and 
must be under the protection of the Great Spirit, and with charac- 
teristic reverence for their Deity desisted from further pursuit.

Ethan Allen. 



THE "ETHAN ALLEN" SPOON. 

Art is combined with history in the " Ethan Allen" Spoon, and the result 
is that a souvenir of high order has been produced. The sentiment ex- 
pressed in the design of the handle will appeal to the heart of every true 
American. We append that part of the history of Ethan Allen which our 
souvenir particularly commemorates. 

Soon after the battle of Lexington, Ethan Allen marched against Fort 
Ticonderoga with eighty-three men, landing just before the break of day; 
he surprised the fort, getting inside and forming his men on the parade 
ground, when they awoke the sleeping garrison with a shout of victory. 
Capt. Delaplace, the British commandant, rushed out in his nightdress and 
asked, " What does this mean ? " Ethan Allen, holding his sword over his 
head, ordered him to surrender. "In whose name?" asked Delaplace. 
" In the name of the great Jehovah and the Continental Congress," replied 
Allen. Delaplace, seeing it was useless to resist, 
surrendered the fort. The next day Crown Point 
was taken; thus the Americans got command of 
Lake Champlain.

Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, says of the 
" Ethan Allen" Spoon : — 

Burlington, Vt., June 4, 1891. 
Messrs. F. W. Sim & Co., Troy, N. V. : 

Gentlemen, — I have received yours of the 3d 
inst., together with the very tastefully designed 
and finely made "Ethan Allen" Spoon. I shall 
prize it very much as a historic memorial. I have 
seen very few, if any, such objects, either ancient 
or modern, more excellent in design or more per- 
fect in workmanship. I hope these spoons may 
have a wide distribution. 

Yours truly, 

GEORGE F. EDMUNDS.

The "Chain Bridge" Spoon. 



NEWBURYPORT, MASS. 



The Essex, Merrimac Bridge, or Chain Bridge, as it is popularly 
known, connects the main land at a point about two miles north of the 
centre of Deer Island, the home of the well-known authoress, Harriet 
Prescott Spofford. The river was first spanned at this point in 1792 by 
a wooden bridge, and in 1810 a lofty pier was erected on either bank, 
from which were suspended chains to bear up the weight of the road- 
way. 

On the 6th of February, 1827, the chains parted under the heavy 
weight of snow and ice. The bridge was rebuilt the same year, and has 
since remained in its present form. It is a very unique structure, its 
chief peculiarity being that the connections between the piers are 
of hand-wrought chains, and not of the modern and usual cable wire. 
This was the first suspension bridge erected in New England, and is 
claimed as the first in the territory now comprised by the United 
States.

THE Catskill Mountains have been made immortal by the genius of Washington 
Irving, Cooper, Bryant, and Willis, and their cliffs, ravines, and waterfalls 
have inspired the greatest of American artists. In the early years of this century, 
Thomas Cole, A. B. Durand, Kensett, Gifford, Mclntee, and Doughty made these 
mountains their favorite field for study, and every path the visitor traverses to-day 
recalls the memory of these gifted artists. In those days of half a century ago, 
the central point of interest was the magnificent expanse of valley as seen from 
the ledge in front of the Mountain House. To those who have stood spell-bound 
as they gazed in speechless delight upon this wonderful panorama, and have sat 
for hours enjoying the play of light and shade over the landscape, or watched the 
gleam of light upon the sails far away on the Hudson, it will recall the feeling 
of that time, the sense of rest and peace that no language could describe ; an up- 
lifting of the soul above all worldly cares, the conviction that, for the moment, 
earthly troubles had been left far below, and in the higher and purer air of the 
mountains a new and better life had opened. The Mountain House, too, is the 
sole surviving relic of the old time, and is inseparable from the famous " ledge." 
In those days it stood alone among the mountains, and to visit the Catskills meant 
a stay at the Mountain House. It was the resort of wealth and fashion; the 
noblest in the land, renowned for intellect and literary genius, made it their tem- 
porary home. Men whose names are highest' in the annals of American literature, 
art, and science, the church, the bar, and the army and navy, have left their names 
upon the old registers ; and the visitor of to-day, as he slowly saunters along the 
ledge in front of the house, will tread over thousands of names cut deep in the 
rock, many of which have been graven as imperishably in the hearts of the Amer- 
ican people. Socially and historically this house and ledge constituted the centre 
of attraction and stood as the embodiment of the Catskills. It is for this reason 
that this souvenir spoon is now offered to the public, with the hope that the many 
pleasant memories it will recall to the minds of the habitues of this region may 
find an answering echo in the young, who are, in many another famous modern 
hostelry, repeating the social triumphs won by their mothers and grandmothers in 
the days gone by. 

This spoon is a souvenir of the past, and the artistic conception and execu- 
tion of the work make it, without exception, the most beautiful souvenir spoon on 
the market. It is of sterling silver and heavy weight. On the front of the handle 
is an accurate view of the Mountain House and ledge, as seen from the long level 
below, with the road leading to it winding through the dense forest. Through the 
centre of the road the word " Catskill" is seen, and below the scroll work on the 
stem the words " Mountain House," in quaintly designed letters. On the reverse 
is a rebus — two cats joined to the word " Kill." Upon the stem is a minute rep- 
resentation of the Catskill Mountain range from the overlook to South Mountain, 
the line ending at the spot where the hotel stands, including, of course, the group 
forming the well-known profile of the " Sleeping Giant," of the " Old Man of the 
Mountains."

The Great Ship "Shenandoah." 

BATH, ME. 



The shipbuilding interests of Maine are very happily commemorated 
by a beautiful spoon which is produced in Bath. While the shipbuilding 
interests of the United States have declined in the last few years, Bath has 
held its own supremacy in that line, and is now bidding fair to exceed the 
most palmy days in that industry. 

The great ship " Shenandoah " is the largest modern ship ever built. 
It was constructed by A. Sewall & Co. of Bath, in 1890. Her length on 
upper deck, 309 7-10 feet; breadth, 49 i-to feet; depth, 29 5-10 feet; 
tonnage, 3,406 78-100. 

During the past few years contracts have been taken by the Bath ship- 
builders for many of the large vessels of the new navy, among them cruisers 
No. 5 and No. 6. These are very happily commemorated in beautiful 
spoons. There are also spoons as souvenirs of the New Public Library 
Erudition, 1794, a schoolhouse which is well known in Bath. Squirrel 
Island, a summer resort situated near Bath, has a very beautiful souvenir 
spoon with a representation of a squirrel.

The " Pine-Tree " Spoon. 



PORTLAND, ME. 



The great staple of Maine is its lumber. 
Extensive forests of pine cover the country 
around the sources of its great rivers, and it is 
from this product, growing so extensively in 
its limits, that it is called the " Pine-Tree 
State." The first settlement of Maine was made 
at Phippsburg in 1607, but was afterwards 
abandoned. 

The ever-memorable march of Arnold, on 
his journey to Quebec in 1775, took place 
along the banks of the Kennebec. Very bitter 
was the feeling against him by many of the 
Tory residents, and an ancestor of a well-known 
house in Gardiner threw all his nails which he 
had in his store into the Kennebec, rather than 
that they should be of service to the 
American army. Maine was a part of Massa- 
chusetts until 1820, when it became an inde- 
pendent State. 

The " Pine-Tree " Spoon bears on the top 
of the handle the coat-of-arms of Maine, while 
in its bowl is a representation of a pine cone 
and the word " Portland."

WILLIAM KENDRICK'S SONS, 

336 FOURTH AVENUE, LOUISVILLE, KY. 



DANIEL BOONE, one of the most famous hunters and Indian- 
fighters who ever lived, was born in Pennsylvania in 1735. 
Before he had reached his majority he moved with his parents to North 
Carolina, where his native hunting field was considerably enlarged. 
Here he remained on the banks of the Yadkin, hunting, fishing, and 
roaming until he was thirty-four years old and had become the 
husband of a wife and the father of children. The news of a broader 
hunting ground now filled his eager ears as he heard from Indian 
traders of the forests and prairies of Kentucky, filled with deer and 
buffaloes and untrodden by the feet of white men. In the spring of 
1769 he set out for the new land, and with that unerring woodcraft 
which the sun and moon and stars led through the forest as the 
mariner is steered through the seas, he reached the promised land. 
Here was a hunter's land that met all wishes, and he roamed through 
it and gave names to its mountains and plains, its rivers and creeks, 
— a second Adam naming the unknown in a second Paradise. 
Brave among the bravest, he moved in the van of civilization to 
Kentucky until the wild beast and the wilder red man were driven 
away and the white man firmly settled upon the long-contested 
ground. Here seeing the forest contracting before the field and 
the hunter's domain narrowing before the farmer, he sought other 
fields, and finally died in Missouri at the age of eighty-five. 

When he first came to Kentucky in 1769, he wore buckskin 
hunting shirt, trousers, and moccasins and a coonskin cap, with his 
long flint-lock rifle across his shoulders, his bullet pouch and scalp- 
ing knife swinging to one side and his tomahawk to the other. He 
is thus presented in the memorial spoon, and thus will be re- 
membered through all time. 

These original articles as worn by him and mentioned above 
are now the property of Col. R. T. Durrett, of Louisville, Ky., and 
were before the sculptor, Mr. Carl Rohl-Smith, in making model for 
spoon, as shown in illustration ; with these facts, the spoon is of 
more historic value than it would otherwise be. 

" It is a beautiful piece of work and true to history. You have represented 
the old pioneer as he came to Kentucky in 1769 and as he will always be known in 
history. In the alto-relief figure any one conversant with Kentucky history can see 
the old hunter and Indian fighter in his original costume and warrior implements, 
as he stands with his searching eye peering into the landscape over the muzzle of 
his deadly rifle at rest. I congratulate you upon the life picture which you have 
placed upon the spoon." COL. R. T. DURRETT.

THE Order of Elks has a beautiful spoon made in commemora- 
tion of this great society. The head of the spoon represents 
an elk's head, being a reproduction of the emblem of the Order,

ment on the handle, and in the bowl is a representation of the

The battle of Gettysburg was fought on the 2d and 3d of July,

READING, Penn., is beautifally situated upon a plain which 
rises gradually from the Schuylkill River, and is enclosed on 
the east by an eminence known as " Mount Penn." 

The city was laid out by Thomas and Richard Penn in 1748, 
being named for the town of Reading in England. It is situated 
among the coal and iron industries, in which business the towns- 
people are largely engaged. 

The beautiful souvenir spoon which is gotten out in the city of 
Reading shows upon its handle the keystone, emblematic of the 
State of Pennsylvania. At the top of the spoon is one of the 
mountain railways, and on the bowl is represented the city seal and 
the industries of Reading, — coal and iron. 

At the top of the coffee spoon is shown the summit of Mount 
Penn, and in the bowl is represented the Klapperthal Pavilion. 

The "Seashore" Spoon shows a bright bathing scene, a jaunty 
yacht, pier, lighthouse, crab and shell, all so familiar to the enthusi- 
astic sojourner at the seaside.

ST. PAUL, MINN. 



Striding over moor and meadow, 
Through interminable forests, 
Through uninterrupted silence, 
With his moccasins of magic, 
At each stride a mile he measured ; 
Yet the way seemed long before him, 
And his heart outrun his footsteps ; 
And he journeyed without resting, 
Till he heard the cataract's laughter, 
Heard the Falls of Minnehaha." 

Henry VV. Longfellow. 



The beautiful and enterprising city of 
St. Paul, Minn., has an exquisite souvenir 
spoon. Old Fort Snelling, so closely con- 
nected with the early history of Minnesota, 
crowns the handle, while directly underneath 
is a beautiful and correct illustration of the 
Lausfhinjj Waters of Minnehaha Falls.

"The Lincoln" Spoon. 



LINCOLN, NEB. 



It is quite consistent that the spoon 
representing the capital of the State of 
Nebraska should bear some commemora- 
tion of the great American from whom 
the city takes its name. The most famil- 
iar episode of Abraham Lincoln's life has 
been embodied in the design. Every 
one is familiar with the story ; how he 
split logs for rails to eke out a little 
money wherewith to gratify his thirst for 
knowledge. The handle represents a split 
rail surmounted by a maul and wedge, 
which constitutes an historical reminder 
of that episode. On the shank of the 
handle is an accurate full-relief reproduc- 
tion of a grasshopper, formerly the terror 
of the West. Within the bowl, in bas- 
relief, is displayed a view of the Capitol, 
and altogether this spoon is as thoroughly 
emblematical of the capital of Nebraska 
as it is possible to be.

PORTLAND is the commercial metropolis of Maine, and is 
pleasantly situated on the narrow peninsula or tongue projecting 
into Casco Bay. The harbor is one of the best on the Atlantic 
coast, the anchorage being protected on every side by land, while 
there is sufficient depth for even the largest ocean steamers. 

The view on entering the harbor is very beautiful, as the ele- 
vations at each extremity show the city and its buildings to the best 
advantage. One of the most attractive features of Portland is its 
number of beautiful trees. There are said to be not less than two 
thousand five hundred scattered through the city. Some of them 
are very old, and add greatly to the comfort of the citizens and the 
beauty of the town. The "Forest City" Spoon bears at the tip of 
the handle the coat-of-arms of the city of Portland, and in the bowl 
is a picture of the old historical structure, the Portland Observatory. 
The Longfellow monument, Portland's tribute to her illustrious 
son, has been erected but recently. A little verse referring to the 
town is here given : — 

"Often I think of the beautiful town 

That is seated by the sea ; 
Often my thoughts go up and down 
The pleasant streets of that dear old town, 

And my youth comes back to me." Longfellow. 

The souvenir spoon commemorative has the coat-of-arms of 
the city of Portland on the tip, and the statue in the bowl. 

The Old City Hall, that for so many years stood in Market 
Square, was removed to make room for the Soldiers' Monument. 
It was the most prominent and familiar of the old buildings remaining 
after the fire. The souvenir spoon has the coat-of-arms of the city 
on the tip of the handle, while in. bowl is a representation of the old 
building.

EAGLE LAKE is well known to tourists who visit Mt. Desert 
Island as one of the charming resorts of that famous watering 
place. The spoon is surmounted by the coat-of-arms of the State of 
Maine, while in the bowl is a faithful representation of Eagle Lake. 

White Head is the highest cliff on Cushing's Island, a favorite 
summer resort for Portland people. From the promontory is given 
a fine outlook to the open sea, and an inland view of the city and 
the islands in the bay. A view of the cliff is given in the spoon. 

Old Orchard Beach is justly celebrated by a beautiful spoon, 
giving a lively scene picturing the pleasures of surf bathing. There 
are a great many hotels at this resort, and during the season they 
are crowded with tourists.

BAR HARBOR is one of the most noted summer resorts on the 
coast of Maine. It is situated on Mt. Desert Island. 
The souvenir spoon which commemorates the watering place 
has a fine view of the town in the bowl, while at the top of the 
handle is the coat-of-arms of Maine. 



Gen. Neal Dow, the veteran father of the Maine Law, whose 
lifelong devotion to the cause of temperance is known and honored 
the world over, is happily remembered in a beautiful souvenir 
spoon gotten out in Portland, Me. He was born in Portland in 
1803, and has lived there ever since. His services in our late war 
were of great benefit in suppressing the Rebellion. He exhibited 
great bravery, and about 1862 became a brigadier-general of volun- 
teers, and was in service with Gen. Benjamin F. Butler in Louisiana. 
It is in the cause of temperance that he is so well known and rever- 
enced. He was elected a member of the Legislature of Maine, where 
he procured the passage of a law to prohibit the sale of ardent 
spirits, which is known the world over as the celebrated Maine Law. 
The spoon, which is of beautiful workmanship, bears at the tip of 
the handle an excellent portrait of the famous agitator In the 
bowl is a. harbor view of the city of Portland.

UNDOUBTEDLY the most prominent event in the history of 
Chicago, and one which has given the city a world-wide repu- 
tation, is the great wave of flame which swept over it in October, 
1 87 1. It started on the evening of Oct. 8, and burned two days, 
rendering thousands of families homeless, and destroying property 
valued at two hundred million dollars. The burnt district covered 
an area of three and one half square miles, and included eighteen 
thousand buildings and seventy-three miles of street frontage. 

Two souvenir spoons, beautiful in design and workmanship, 
commemorate this event, the "Chicago Fire" and the "Phoenix" 
Spoons. The first gives a weird view of a building encircled by 
flames, with the date, 1871 ; while the second shows a phoenix rising 
from its ashes, symbolical of the rapid rise of the city after its great 
disaster. 

The Columbian Exposition, which will be the greatest as- 
semblage of exhibits of modern times, will be held in Chicago in 
1893. A very beautiful spoon is the "Columbian Exposition," 
which will commemorate this event. The handle bears a represen- 
tation of the coat-of-arms of the United States, while in the bowl is 
pictured the landing of Columbus.

This spoon is a souvenir commemorating 
the name of Emma Willard, who was the 
first person in America to attempt placing 
female education on a level with the best 
offered to the male sex. Her plans were 
given to the public in an able address in 
1814. 

Miss Willard was born at Berlin, Conn., 
in 1787, and became in 1821 principal of 
the Troy Female Seminary. It was estab- 
lished in Middleboro, Vt., in 18 14, removed 
to Waterford in 1819, and to Troy in 1821. 
During these years 13,500 pupils were con- 
nected with the seminary. This remarkable 
woman made for herself, in the field of fe- 
male education, a great reputation, not only 
in this country, but throughout the civilized 
world as well. The female seminaries now 
established throughout the United States are 
substantially founded on the pioneer model 
which she established in Troy. She died in 
1870. 

The spoon is handsomely designed, 
well made, and is a worthy tribute to a noble 
and deserving woman. 



138 



The "Portland, Maine, Observa- 
tory" Spoon. 



High and calmly looking down in faithful 
vigil stands the broad red tower. This red 
shingle tower was built in 1807 as a lookout 
for signalling vessels approaching Portland 
Harbor. The view from it is very extensive, 
taking in the coast from Wood Island, at the 
mouth of the Saco River, to Seguin, in fhe 
Kennebec ; the inland view extending to the 
White Mountains and other regions of New 
Hampshire. From this tower was seen the sea 
fight, far away, the battle between the " Boxer" 
and the "Enterprise" in 181 3, and in 1863 the 
burning and blowing up of the revenue cutter 
" Caleb Cushing," which had been captured by 
the rebels from our harbor, and was destroyed 
off the Green Islands. The elevation is 240 
feet ; it is 82 feet from the foundation to the 
upper deck, being 32 feet wide at the base; and 
122 tons of stone are deposited in the lower 
part to secure its safety in a gale of wind. 

The telescope now in use is one of Dol- 
land's make in London, and was purchased in 
1807; it was placed in the cupola of the ob- 
servatory at that time, where it has remained to 
the present day. The building is the best 
known in the city.

THE fine air and varied scenery have rendered Newport one 
of the most celebrated watering places in New England. For 
a period Newport was the rival of Boston and New York in com- 
mercial importance, but the Revolution completely destroyed its 
commerce, and it has never regained it since. 

One of Newport's chief attractions, supposed to have been 
built by the Norsemen who visited these shores about the year 
IOOO, is the Old Stone Mill. Around about it gathers the moss 
and lichen, vines clamber lovingly up its rough sides as though to 
hide the ravages of "Time's defacing fingers." Until the question 
is solved, the active mind of man will still strive to unravel the 
mystery which surrounds its creation, and fancy will weave many 
a wondrous tale of those whose hands built it. 

Longfellow, in one of his exquisite poems, "The Skeleton in 
Armor," lays the scene in and around • this tower. The spoon 
which commemorates this beautiful old ruin has in its bowl an 
accurate representation of the stone as it now looks, while the 
handle is surmounted with scenery in Rhode Island.

MANY a tongue has sung and is still singing paeans of praise 
to the brave heroine, Ida Lewis, whose home is situated on 
the rock-bound islet, the Lime Rocks. Ida Lewis has won for 
herself a name that pales not in the glory shed from those of 
Florence Nightingale, or John Howard, for she has "done what 
she could," bravely and nobly, to save human life. Eighteen 
human beings have been dragged from the destroying embrace of 
the mighty ocean through the self-sacrificing heroism of this 
slender woman. Thousands yearly visit her tiny home as though 
'twere a holy spot, there to offer her the sweet incense of their 
grateful praise. An accurate representation of the rocks is given 
in bowl of the spoon, and on the handle are the arms of Rhode 
Island.

THE island upon which the picturesque ruin of Fort Dump- 
lings, Jamestown, R. I., is situate, was once the home of 
Canonicus, a brave old Indian sachem, from whom it received 
its name. He was a fine specimen of the native dwellers on these 
fair shores, and who, by the respect and kindness he evinced 
toward the white settlers, won their admiration and love. He 
died in 1649, in the fulness of years, lamented not only by his 
tribe, but by the colonists as well. The fort is oval in shape, and 
' is guarded by a high wall of rocks, against which the impatient 
sea is ever beating in impotent rage. The date of its construction 
is a subject of dispute, some claiming that it was built during 
the French War, others that it was erected by our Revolutionary 
heroes. Be that as it may, its glory has departed, and instead of 
being filled with armed men and belching cannon, 

" 'Tis now the raven's bleak abode, 
'Tis now the apartment of the toad ; 
O'errun with ruin, moss, and weeds, 
While ever and anon their falls 
Huge heaps of hoary moulder'd walls." 
And lovers their now oft do meet, 
Their tales of love to tell. 

The souvenir spoon which commemorates this ancient chief 
and historic ruin bears in the bowl a representation of the old 
fort, while the handle is surmounted with the coat-of-arms of the 
State.

ONE of the most beautiful watering places in New England is 
Narragansett Pier. It is situated on Narragansett Bay, a 
large body of water extending from the Atlantic into Rhode Island, 
between Point Judith on the west and Seconnet Rocks on the east. 

The bay receives several large rivers, and contains a number of 
beautiful islands ; among them being Canonicut and Prudence Isl-

Narragansett Pier contains a number of beautiful' residences, a 
substantial casino, and its beaches and piers are thronged during the 
season by a fashionable gathering from all parts of the country. 

The spoon bears an attractive view of the casino at the pier 
with " Narragansett Pier" in relief letters in the bowl. At the top

THE birthplace of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was Portland, 
Me., and his youth and early manhood .were passed with in- 
timate associations that will live ; in his half-autobiographical 
revery, "My Lost Youth," he records something of the effect which 
these associations had upon his mind, and gives a wide reputation 
to the city, which has commemorated the great American poet with 
a souvenir spoon. 

" Often I think of the beautiful town 
That is seated by the sea ; 
Often in thought go up and down 
The pleasant streets of that dear old town, 

And my youth comes back to me. 
And a verse of a Lapland song is haunting my memory still : 
A boy's will is the wind's will, 
. And thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts." 

' ' And Deering's woods are fresh and fair, 
And with joy that is almost pain 
My heart goes back to wander there, 
And among the dreams of the days that were, 
I find my lost youth again." 

Henry W." Longfellow. 

The spoon bears a correct likeness of the celebrated poet in 
medallion, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves, under which is 
the monogram, " H. W. L.," and the word " Portland.". 

The front and back of the handle are original and artistic, be- 
ing" struck from the finest dies.

The "Buffalo" Souvenir 
Spoon. 



BUFFALO, N. Y. 



Buffalo was originally laid out by the 
Holland Company in 1801, and became a 
military post in 1812. In 1813 all the 
houses but two were destroyed by the British 
and Indians ; but it rapidly recovered its 
former prestige, and was more successful 
than ever. The city has a water front about 
five miles on the Niagara River, and the 
more elevated portions of the city afford fine 
views of Niagara, Canada shore, the lake and 
bay. The streets are bordered with a pro- 
fusion of shade trees, and in the elevated 
portions of the city are many beautiful resi- 
dences. 

It- is said that the name of Buffalo came 
from the frequent visits of those animals to 
a salt spring about three miles outside of 
the village, which was called Buffalo Creek. 
In the souvenir spoon is the full-size figure 
of a buffalo gracefully poised on the top of 
the handle, while in the bowl is a fac-simile 
of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument.

The "Wooster" Spoon. 

DANBURY, CONN. 

David Wooster was first major- 
general of the Connecticut troops 
in the Army of the Revolution, 
and brigadier-general of the 
United Colonies. He was born 
at Stratford, March 2, 17 10 ; be- 
ing wounded at Ridgefield, April 
2 7> 1777, while defending the 
liberties of America, and nobly 
died at Danbury, May 2, 1777. 
Of his country, Wooster said : 
" My life has been ever devoted 
to her service from my youth 
up, though never before in a 
cause like this — a cause for 
which I would most cheerfully 
risk, nay, lay down my life." 
Impressed, while a stranger in a 
foreign land, with the necessity 
of some tie that should unite all 
mankind in a universal brother- 
hood, he returned to his native 
country and procured a charter 
from the Provincial G. L. of Mas- 
sachusetts, and first introduced 
into Connecticut that light which 
warmed the widows' hearts and 
illumined the orphans' pathway. 
Grateful for his services as the 
first Worshipful Master, and his 
renown as a soldier, the F. A. M. 
united with the State and citizens 
of Danbury in erecting a monu- 
ment to his memory, April 7, 
1854. Although history has 
lauded his merits, and his friends 
have raised a monument to his 
memory, yet the old house that 
he spent his last hours in, after 
standing the ravages of time for 
over a century, has passed away. 
From a photograph taken just 
before its destruction, we have 
produced the old house of a 
century ago. 

The obverse or front of the spoon bears a bust of Gen. Wooster, which is 
an excellent likeness. The bust forms the end of the handle. The handle 
proper is a fac-simile of the front of the Wooster monument in Wooster cem- 
etery. In the bowl is a fac-simile of the old house that, until recently, stood 
in South Street, and which was used as a headquarters by Gen. Wooster, and 
in which he died. 

The reverse or back of the spoon is equally as well finished and artistic as 
the front. The end has a back view of Gen. Wooster, and also a back view 
of the Wooster monument.

The "Chautauqua" Spoon. 

JAMESTOWN, N. Y. 



An exquisite Chautauqua Spoon has been designed to 
preserve some lasting remembrance of this world-re- 
nowned summer resort and its originator. On the front of 
the handle is the familiar profile of Chancellor Vincent. 
The word ' ' Chautauqua " is on 
the stem in dainty and artistic 
lettering. On the back of the 
handle is a faithful copy of the 
Chautauqua Pier, that portal 
through which thousands pass 
annually to the Mecca of Amer- 
ica. Its foreground, the breeze- 
swept lake ; its background, 
a mass of cool, dark foliage,

roofs and gables of the beau- 
tiful cottages and public build- 
ings. Its graceful tower, with 
its projecting balconies, ap- 
pears at a distance like an 
Eastern mosque, and one al-

students of the C. L. S. C, 
East and West, North and 
South. 

The Chautauqua plan of pop- 
ular education was published to 
the world about eighteen years 
ago on this beautiful lake, and 
the idea has grown to such pro- 
portions that it has now one of 
the most positive influences in 
educational circles, the grove 
being now visited by thou- 
sands every year. Fifty 
assemblies of the C. L. 
S. C. are scattered over 
the world, all modelled on 
the successful plan of the 
original Chautauqua As- 
sembly. The membership 
is about 25,000.

The 
"Garfield" Spoon. 

CLEVELAND, OHIO. 



In choosing a design for a Cleve- 
land souvenir spoon, the Garfield 
monument seems appropriate, as that 
memorial makes our city noted the 
world over. This idea the, artist has 
ably worked up, and we take great 
pleasure in presenting the beautiful 
"Garfield" Spoon to the public. 

The monument pictured on the han- 
dle of the spoon stands upon a fine 
eminence in Lake View Cemetery, and 
can be seen for miles around. It is 
built of native sandstone, a circular 
shaft fifty feet in diameter rising from a 
broad terrace, the whole one hundred 
and eighty feet in height. A wide flight 
of steps leads to the terrace platform, 
while at the base of the shaft is a porch 
banded by a frieze of five panels con- 
taining life-size bas-reliefs that repre- 
sent Garfield as Teacher, Statesman, 
Soldier, President, the last panel repre- 
senting his body lying in state in the 
Rotunda at the Capitol. 

The interior of the tower is a chapel, 
glorious with stained glass, golden mo- 
saics, and rich decorations ; a fit shrine 
for the magnificent statue, which is in 
Italian marble, standing on a pedestal 
in the centre of the chapel, a most 
faithful likeness of the martyred Presi- 
dent. 

In the decoration of the chapel 
neither time nor money has been 
spared to make it a work of art of 
which the people of the United States 
may justly be proud, and the entire 
monument stands alone, grand and 
strong, typical of the honored man, 
James A. Garfield.

The " Savannah ' Souvenir Spoon. 



SAVANNAH, GA. 




Tea Spoon, 

Made only in .sterling silver, and sent 
to any address on receipt of price, by 

THEUS BROS., 

SAVANNAH, GA. 



Savannah was founded by Gen. 
Oglethorpe in 1732. The commerce 
of Savannah is very flourishing. It is 
regularly laid out with wide, sandy 
streets, which are closely shaded with 
the pride of India trees. At every 
corner there is a public square also 
planted with pride of India trees. 
The most prominent of the local features 
of Savannah are the Old City Exchange, 
the City Hall, and Gen. Greene's monu- 
ment. These have been combined in 
the beautiful souvenir spoon which is 
issued from an artistic standpoint. The 
City Exchange is prettily pictured in 
the bowl. It has considerable historical 
interest, and was built over one hundred 
years ago. It was from this place that 
Gen. Sherman reviewed his troops after 
his triumph and march through Georgia. 
The handle bears a correct representa- 
tion of the monument erected in 1825 
by the citizens in memory of Gen. 
Nathanael Greene of Rhode Island. 
The corner-stone of the monument was 
laid by the general's friend, Lafayette*, 
during a visit of the latter to America.

The 

"Veteran or G. A. R." 

Spoon. 

DAYTON, OHIO. 

If the demand for souvenir spoons has 
been productive of nothing else, it has cer- 
tainly been the means of bringing forth all 
the genius of the designers in endeavoring 
to produce an article that shall possess origi- 
nality and artistic merit. The " Veteran or 
G. A. R." Spoon needs no word of praise to 
commend it to any one having an average 
amount of appreciation for the beautiful. 
The design has been pronounced one of the 
most beautiful ever produced. The design 
was first intended as a souvenir spoon for 
the Soldiers' Home, Dayton, Ohio, but 
finally it developed into a general souvenir 
for the veteran soldier. The distinctive 
G. A. R. features of the spoon will bring it 
into general demand among members of the 
Order, and will be a beautiful and lasting 
souvenir for the old veterans to present 
to each other or to younger members of the 
family. The handle of the spoon repre- 
sents a Corinthian column, upon which 
stands, full dressed, the figure of a soldier, 
a correct reproduction of the monument 
which forms one of the principal features of 
Dayton, Ohio. Within the upper part of 
the bowl is seen a representation of the em- 
blem of the G. A. R. Order, the spread eagle 
resting upon the crossed cannon.

The "Henry Ward Beecher" Spoon. 



K^S 



BROOKLYN, N. Y. 



■-m; '■'■-" 



Henry Ward Beecher, one of the most 
distinguished of our American ministers and 
writers, was born in 1813. He entered 
Amherst College in 1834, where he grad- 
uated, and soon after commenced the study 
of theology at Lane's Seminary, under the 
direction of his father. He began his minis- 
terial course at Lawrenceburg, Ind., and 
in 1847 became pastor of the Plymouth 
Church at Brooklyn, N. Y. He gathered 
around him the largest congregation, it is 
said, in the United States. No one was 
more beloved in his immediate circles, and 
in the country, than Mr. Beecher, and when 
he died, in 1887, his loss was felt by both 
rich and poor throughout the world. 

The "Henry Ward Beecher" Spoon bears 
in the bowl a correct representation of 
Suspension Bridge, while surmounting the 
handle is an accurate bust of the great 
preacher.

The 
"Kansas City" Spoon. 

KANSAS CITY, MO. 

There is not a more unique and 
elegant spoon than the one designed 
by the Jaccards, the leading jewelry 
house of Kansas City. The spoon is 
representative of the commercial inter- 
ests, the vast progress and improve- 
ments, and the very life and patriotism 
of the beautiful Gate City, at the junction 
of the Missouri and Kansas Rivers. A 
graceful scroll borders the handle of the 
spoon, framing the seal of the city 
around which are the deftly engraved 
words, " Seal of Kansas City, Jackson 
County, Missouri." The seal is sup- 
ported by a steer's horns, whose life- 
like head is very suggestive of the 
immense cattle industry of Kansas City. 
The fine and telling work is continued 
in two beautifully engraved cable cars, 
in the narrowest part of the handle, for 
Kansas City boasts the most Complete 
cable system in the world. Space is 
left on the handle for a name and date, 
and this is heavily plated with gold. 
A more graceful, artistic, and emble- 
matic souvenir was never designed and 
executed. It is the multian in parvo 
of the city's history, and the par excel- 
lence of beautiful commemoration. It 
is worthy of the celebrated designers, 
who have for many years led the jewelry 
trade of Kansas City, and who are 
closely allied to its first interests, of im- 
provement, commerce, and patriotism.

F. S. THOMPSON, the Jeweler, 
164 Main Street, Gloucester, Mass. 



Gloucester is a fishing town situated 
on the peninsula of Cape Ann, Mass. 
Its interests are almost entirely com- 
mercial. The harbor of Gloucester is 
one of the best on the coast, and for 
vessels of the largest class it is accessi- 
ble at all seasons of the year. It was 
first occupied as a fishing station as 
early as 1624, and was incorporated as 
a town in 1639. 

The number of men employed in 
the cod and mackerel fisheries is very 
large, and for more than a century the 
former fishery has been successfully 
prosecuted here. 

The beautiful souvenir spoon com- 
memorating Gloucester has on the 
handle a correct representation of 
Norman's Woe rocks, which lie be- 
tween Gloucester and Magnolia, and 
upon which was wrecked the schooner 
"Hesperus," the story of which was so 
beautifully told in the poem of the im- 
mortal Longfellow.

"Fort Washington" Spoon. 

CINCINNATI, OHIO. 



Fort Washington, built in 1791, 
was the most extensive and impor- 
tant military post in the territory be- 
longing to the United States, and 
made a conspicuous figure in the 
Indian wars of the closing decade 
of the century. 

It was located on what is now 
Third Street (south side, near Broad- 
way), Cincinnati. Capt. William H. 
Harrison, afterwards President of the 
United States, was at one time in 
command of the fort. 

For several years it served as 
headquarters for the army, being 
near to that part of the country in 
which settlers were most subject to 
attack by Indians. In 1792 an offi- 
cer writes of the fort, " The exterior 
is whitewashed, and presents from a 
distance an imposing and really 
beautiful appearance, notwithstand- 
ing the rude material of which it is 
constructed." 

The souvenir spoon commemora- 
tive of Fort Washington has a beau- 
tiful handle, while in the bowl is an 
excellent representation of the old 
fort with the words, "Fort Washing- 
ton, Cincinnati, 1791."

'■' Learn to win a lady's faith, 
Nobly as the thing is high ; 
Bravely, as for life and death, 
With a loyal gravity. 
Lead her from her festive board, 
Point her to the starry sky, 
Guard her by your truthful words, 
Pure from courtship's flatteries." 

Mrs. E. B. Browning. 

" In many ways does the full heart reveal 
The presence of the love it would conceal." 

Coleridge. 

Among the different customs which have grown out of the 
souvenir spoon excitement is that of giving a spoon to the newly- 
engaged young lady. As the ordinary spoon, commemorative of 
place, event, or individual, does not seem to fill as completely the 
want, some of our leading jewelers have conceived the idea of a 
"Love" Spoon, thus giving something more nearly related to the 
subject nearest at hand. Thus the "Love" Spoons are not only 
good for a birthday gift, but for the bride, the maiden, the friend, 
or for an engagement cup and saucer. 

A father or mother, in pursuit of some token of love for their 
boy or girl, will at once decide that the "Love" Spoon is the proper 
thing. The bowl of the spoon is in the shape of a heart, with the 
word " Love " in raised letters in the centre. On the handle is a 
true love-knot, while at the extreme tip is the pure figure of a dove 
encircled by several forget-me-nots. 

Weddings are of every-day occurrence, and call for many wed- 
ding presents. There is nothing more appropriate to give to a 
newly made bride than a dozen of these spoons ; nothing in the 
collection of bridal gifts will be more highly appreciated than these. 
At the top of the handle is a representation of the wedding scene 
by the presentation of the wedding ring, surrounded with a wreath 
of orange blossoms, underneath which is the representation of a 
lyre or harp, an instrument much used in Eastern countries at wed- 
ding festivities. Still under this is a scroll for engraving names or 
dates. The bowl is made in the shape of an orange bud just be- 
ginning to unfold. This spoon is very artistic and handsome.

ONE of the most chaste and beautiful souvenir spoons that has been prepared 
in commemoration of individuals and events is the ' ' George Washington " 
Spoon. The head of Washington, which surmounts the top of the handle, is in 
relief, and is considered one of the best portraits that has ever been given on a 
souvenir spoon, and is from a celebrated painting. On the handle of the spoon is 
represented a sword and belt, and the phrase, " The Father of His Country." 
The back of the spoon is plain. One can hardly write anything about our great 
American statesman. His great rival, Jefferson, who differed from him on many 
questions of state and other points, bears the following testimony to his character : 
" His integrity was the most pure, his justice the most inflexible, I have ever 
known. No motives of interest or consanguinity, of friendship or hatred, being 
able to bias his decision. He was indeed, in every sense of the word, a wise, a 
good and great man. His temper was naturally irritable and high-toned, but 
reflection and resolution had obtained a firm and habitual ascendency over it." 

Our martyred President, Abraham Lincoln, who was born Feb. 12, 1809, 
is the subject of an exquisite spoon. Upon the handle is the head in relief which 
is taken from one of his most excellent portraits. Below the bust appears the 
shackles emblematical of the great emancipation; below them the motto, "The 
Savior of his Country." The back of the spoon is plain. No estimate of the 
character of this great man can be given in this short space, but Emerson justly 
says of him, which is probably the best protrayal of the character and virtues of 

the President : "For four years his endurance, his fertility of 

resources, his magnanimity were sorely tried and never found wanting. There, by 
his courage, his justice, his even temper, his fertile counsel, his humanity, he 
stood a heroic figure in the centre of a heroic epoch. He is the true history of 
the American people in his time, the true representative of this continent, father 
of his country, the pulse of twenty millions throbbing in his heart, the thought of 
their minds articulated hy his tongue." 

Gen. U. S. Grant, the eighteenth President of the United States, was born 
at Point Pleasant, Ohio, April 27, 1822. It is conceded on every side that he was 
the greatest general of modern times. The famous Prince Eugene observed that 
the greatest generals have commonly been those who have been at once raised to 
command of an army, without spending much time in petty calculations and 
manoeuvres of an inferior officer. Gen. Grant was no exception to this rule, as 
he seemed to have become a leader of men the very first war. 

Two famous phrases have been handed down to us from the Civil War, show- 
ing his character in bold relief; one was what he wrote to Gen. Buckner at Fort 
Donelson, "No terms other than unconditional and immediate surrender can be 
accepted. I propose to move immediately upon your works"; and a second was 
the one written at Spottsylvania Court House, where his despatch includes the 
famous sentence, " I propose to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer." 

Gen. Grant was elected President of the United States and served a 
second term, finally dying later under circumstances which brought him the sym- 
pathy of the whole country.

"All of a tenor was their after life, 
No day discolored with domestic strife ; 
No jealousy, but mutual truth believed, 
Secure repose, and kindness undeceived." 

Dryden. 

The "Silver Wedding" Spoons are now the fashion as a gift for 
the twenty-fifth wedding day. The emblems are beautiful, the years 
of married life are shown by the chain of twenty-five roses, and the 
voyage of life, by the bark which sails a peaceful sea. The favoring 
breezes give good assurance for the future. 

The "Engagement" Spoon has been created especially for the 
custom of sending a spoon to the newly engaged young lady, and 
represents at the top of the handle a Cupid sitting in a victor's 
wreath, who has shot at a mark while his dart has united two hearts 
which are encircled by the ring on which a bow rests ; emblematical 
of the knot which is soon to be tied. 

The "Friendship" Spoon is one of the good trio, and is repre- 
sented by the clasped hands, around which the chain of friendship is 
locked ; and the cord which binds hearts together is represented by 
the rope around them all. 

" Friendship is the cement of two minds, 
As of one man soul and body is ; 
Of which one cannot sever but the other 
Suffers a needful separation."

The "Massena Springs" Spoon. 



MASSENA, N. Y. 



Massena is a township bordering on the 
Raquet River in the northern part of New 
York. The St. Lawrence River, which is 
but three miles from here, contains several 
islands, and is intersected by the Grass 
and Raquet Rivers, on the former of which 
is situated the village. 

Massena Springs are celebrated for 
their medicinal waters, which are said to be 
a cure for rheumatism and other diseases, 
and were well known by the Indians many 
years before the place was settled by the 
whites. 

The watering place is visited every 
year by increasing numbers of fashionable 
people, and the spoon, which has been 
designed as a souvenir of the springs, 
bears upon it a picture of the springs, the 
bath-houses and surrounding hotels.

It has grown very rapidly, and is now 
one of the most beautiful cities in the 
West. It is surrounded by a rich and 
populous country, and is an active busi- 
ness place. 

The graceful souvenir spoon which 
commemorates this city has upon its 
handle an accurate bust of the great 
discoverer after whom the city is named. 
Surrounded by leaves of immortelles is 
enclosed the word "Columbus." In a 
panel, under the bust, in the bowl, is 
depicted the Capitol building with the 
surrounding grounds. The spoon is a 
beautiful work of art.

THE "MEMORIAL ARCH" AND "BROOKLYN HEIGHTS" SPOONS. 



One of the prominences 
towards the East River, in 
Brooklyn, is called the 
"Heights." It is 70 feet 
above the level of the sea, 
and affords a magnificent 
view of New York City and 
Harbor. 

In the souvenir spoon 
called "Brooklyn Heights," 
a correct sketch of the latter 
is given in the bowl, while 
on the handle is the well- 
known motto and seal of the 
city of Brooklyn. 

One of the first objects of 
interest in the City of 
Churches, which is shown 
the traveller, and of which 
the citizens are most proud, 
is a beautiful soldiers' memo- 
rial arch, situated on the 
plaza of Prospect Park. The 
souvenir spoon which com- 
memorates the arch has an 
accurate representation of this 
in the bowl, while at the top 
of the handle is the Lincoln 
statue, and plaza fountain, 
and on the shank are the 
words spoken by the great 
President Lincoln,. " Charity 
to all." 

The memorial arch is one 
of the most magnificent ar- 
chitectural triumphs which 
has been erected by the 
citizens of Brooklyn, in 
memory of the soldiers in 
that city who fell during the 
Civil War. 

Brooklyn was first settled 
in 1625, near Wallabout 
Bay.

TAUNTON, MASS. 



The beautiful city of Taunton is 
situated in the southern part of Massa- 
chusetts. It is a manufacturing city, 
and is well known as the place where 
so many of our beautiful pieces of 
silverware are made. One of the largest 
tack manufactories in the United States 
is located here, and it is at this place 
where one of the most extensive loco- 
motive works in the United States is 
located. 

The first settlement made in this town 
was that of Miss Elizabeth Pool, who, 
with others, came from Taunton, in Eng- 
land, from whence the place gets its 
name, in 1639, with the view of estab- 
lishing a church among the Indians. 

For many years the herring fisheries 
were one of the leading industries of the 
place, and in the souvenir spoon which 
has been made to commemorate the city 
there is represented on the handle a 
herring ; at the top is a brick, repre- 
senting one of the oldest industries of 
the town. 

The celebrated Dighton Rock, the 
inscriptions on which have caused such 
a variety of speculation, is on the east 
side of the Taunton River, opposite the 
town of Dighton, which, previous to 
1 71 2, formed a part of Taunton. It is 
the opinion of some learned men that 
these inscriptions were the work of the 
Norwegian adventurers who, it is sup- 
posed, visited this coast about the year 
1000. Drawings of these characters 
have been taken at various periods, and 
several of them have been copied and 
published in Copenhagen in a splendid 
work on "Antiquities of America."

FORT SUMTER" SPOON. 



The repulse of the "British fleet from 
Fort Moultrie in 1776, and the attack and 
defence of Fort Sumter from 1 863 to 1 865 , 
are two of the most interesting and im- 
portant events in the history of the United 
States. On June 28, 1776, the British 
fleet of nine sail, carrying two hundred 
and seventy guns, under the command of 
Sir Peter Parker, made a furious attack 
upon Fort Moultrie in Charleston, S. C, 
Harbor. The little fort was a hastily built 
structure of palmetto logs and sand, and 
was defended by a garrison of four hun- 
dred and thirty-five , men and twenty-six 
cannon. Early in the attack the flag, a 
simple strip of blue cloth bearing a sil- 
ver crescent, was shot away, and fell 
outside the fort. Sergeant Jasper, during 
the hottest fire, sprang over the ramparts, 
secured the flag, and amid a shower of shot 
and shell replanted it upon the fort. This 
gallant act inspired the brave defenders 
with renewed vigor, and the fleet was 
finally repulsed with heavy loss. This 
was the first decisive victory gained over 
the British during the Revolutionary War. 
The Charleston spoon represents Sergeant 
Jasper with the flag, which he has fastened 
to a sponge staff, grasped in his left hand. 
He points with his right apparently in the 
direction of the British fleet, as if directing 
the fire of his comrades beneath him. It 
is an exact copy of the figure on the monu- 
ment on the battery of Charleston, erected 
to the " defenders of Fort Moultrie." 

In the bowl is represented Fort Sum- 
ter as it appeared in 1865, battered and 
scarred after being "stormed at with shot 
and shell" for more than two years. The 
first shot against the Union was fired from 
Fort Sumter in 1861. The defence of 
this fort has been regarded as one of the 
greatest feats of modern warfare.

The "All America" 
Spoon. 

PROVIDENCE, R. I. 

/The prospect of many foreign visitors 
to the United States during the period of 
the World's Columbian Exposition has 
called forth some of the most beautiful 
designs in souvenir spoons. In the " All 
America " Spoon the Indian is the abo- 
riginal American, and to no tradition of 
American life clings as much of poetry 
and sentiment as to the " son of the 
forest," so prominent in much of the 
early history, the poetry and romance of 
the nation. The " All America," while 
broadly representing a subject national in 
character, is also an appropriate souvenir 
of many localities about which Indian tra- 
ditions linger, and are still affectionately 
and reverently preserved. On the front 
of the handle is a bust, in relief, of a char- 
acteristic Indian ; below is depicted the In- 
dian corn, which is associated so strongly 
with all aborigines. On the reverse side 
of the handle is a group, made up of a 
tomahawk, bow and quiver, above which 
are two pipes of peace.

Mexican Filigree Spoons. 



EL PASO, TEXAS. 



"The particular branch of 
jewelry manufacture in which 
the modern Mexican jeweler 
encounters little or no com- 
petition from European or 
American artisans," says a 
prominent journal, " is the 
delicate filigree work, in the 
manufacture of which he dis- 
plays extraordinary skill and 
patience. The work is com- 
posed of fine gold and silver 
wire fixed in a rigid frame 
made to represent any de- 
sired design. The gold and 
silver from which the wires 
are drawn must necessarily 
be almost pure, as any ad- 
mixture with the baser metals 
would render it impossible to 
draw them to the proper fine- 
ness. Imitations of gold and 
silver are therefore readily 
detected by the coarseness of 
the wire and general clumsy 
appearance of the work. In 
all genuine Mexican filigree

to be 90 per cent pure, and 
the gold 20 carats fine. The 
original Mexican designs are 

generally copied from nature, and represent flowers, birds, butter- 
flies, etc. 

" The uniqueness of the designs, the rich colors of the original 
metals preserved in the work, and withal, the intrinsic value of the 
articles made of this material, render them highly attractive and 
adapted for presentations as souvenirs."

Providence, R. I. 



PROVIDENCE, R. I. 

Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa, 
about 1440. At an early age he had a great 
fondness for geography and a strong attraction 
towards the sea, and his imagination suggested 
to him mysterious regions beyond its horizon. 
For many years he labored under great diffi- 
culty in finding any one who believed the same 
as he did regarding what was beyond the ocean 
in the west. At length Queen Isabella was 
induced to furnish him with two small vessels, 
and the rest were given him by his friends. On 
the 4th of August, 1492, he sailed from Palos 
with one hundred and twenty men in the " Santa 
Marie," the " Pinta," and the 
" Nina." A few days before the 
discovery of land his crew be- 
came openly mutinous and talked 
of throwing him overboard. On 
the morning of Oct. 12, 1492, 
his voyage was crowned with 
triumph by the discovery of San 
Salvador. He died in ignorance 
of the real grandeur of his dis- 
covery, and always supposed that 
Cuba and terra firma were only 
remote points of Asia. 

The souvenir spoon which 
commemorates this great man 
will command attention on ac- 
count of its superb workman- 
ship and true merits. The por- 
trait of Columbus is a reproduc- 
tion of an exceptionally fine 
mosaic presented to Venice by 
the city of Genoa. The city on 
the reverse side of the handle is 
Santa Marie, with Columbus's 
flagship flying the admiral's pen- 
nant. The design on the bowl 
represents the great discoverer 
sighting the shore of the New 
World, familiar to every one by 
its use upon our national bank- 
notes.

The "Baltimore, Md." 



No Baltimore souvenir spoon would 
be considered perfect in design unless it 
included a representation of the terrapin, 
oyster, and crab, those delicacies of the 
Chesapeake Bay for which this city has 
long been famous. In the beautiful 
souvenir spoon which Justis & Armi- 
ger, 3 1 E. Baltimore Street, Baltimore, 
Md., have produced, each of these lux- 
uries are seen. The handle is a succes- 
sion of oysters and crabs, intertwined with 
seaweed and topped by a terrapin. It is, 
however, of her monuments that the Mon- 
umental City is especially proud. Chief 
among them is the Battle Monument, lo- 
cated in the business centre of the city, 
and in the immediate vicinity of the new 
two-rriillion-dollar Post Office building. 
This monument was erected by the mu- 
nificence of the citizens of Baltimore, 
and under the superintendence of the 
Committee of Vigilance and Safety, to per- 
petuate the memory of their late fellow- 
citizens who fell nobly fighting in defence 
of their city and country on the ever- 
memorable 1 2th of September, 1814, 
when the city was threatened by the 
British invaders. This successful defence 
of Baltimore is known in history as the 
battle of North Point. The selection of 
this particular monument, from the many 
which beautify the city, is particularly ap- 
propriate from the fact that it is used by 
the city as its great seal, and may also be 
seen ornamenting the city bonds, and there 
are certainly none which are held in greater 
repute than those of the Monumental City. 

This monument of which we have been 
speaking is shown in an oyster-shape 
bowl. The spoon is one of the most artis- 
tic which has been placed on the market. 
The execution of the details is remarkably 
perfect; it is full of character and individ- 
uality. There is a reminder of good living 
about it too, which will recall very agree- 
able recollections to every one who has 
visited Baltimore.

The "Johnstown Flood."

II 



One of the greatest disasters in the 
history of the United States was the 
terrible flood which occurred in Johns- 
town, Pa., May 31,1 889, overtaking the 
inhabitants, laying the city in waste, 
and costing the lives of from 2,500 to 
3,000 people. 

The spoon commemorates this event, 
and is an elegant souvenir of the now 
best known city on the continent. 

At the top of the handle is the South 
Fork dam in a most realistic manner. 
Down the handle runs the rushing water, 
which is stopped by the now famous 
Stone Bridge, as shown in the bowl. 
Beyond the bridge is also depicted in 
the bowl the extensive works of the 
Cambria Iron Company, the principal 
industry of the community, and the 
wreck worked by the flood.

' All thoughts, all passions, all delights, 
Whatever stirs this mortal frame, 
All are but ministers of Love, 
And feed his sacred flame." 

Coleridge. 

' Man while he loves is never quite de- 
praved, 
And woman's triumph is a lover saved." 



The beautiful ' ' Love " Spoon 
is one which its name implies, 
a token of affection not confined 
to any locality, state, or nation. 
It is the emblem of Cupid the 
world over, with a dainty gold 
heart for its bowl pierced with 
a silver arrow, and entwined 
with forget-me-nots for its han- 
dle. It is an ideal love spoon. 
It is suitable for a birthday or 
Christmas spoon for the baby, 
a token of affection for a school 
friend, a pledge of love to the 
maiden, a souvenir spoon for 
the sweet girl graduate, or a 
gift to an absent friend. It is 
a loving remembrance to grand- 
ma, or a dainty bridal gift, a 
Christmas gift of rare beauty 
and appropriateness, and a prize 
for every one.

THE figure of Wm. Penn, standing upon the keystone, typical of 
the State of Pennsylvania, and bearing the date of the founding 
of the city, is a reproduction in miniature of the bronze figure 
which is to surmount the tower of the City Hall, and will be thirty- 
six feet high and weigh about thirty tons. 

It represents Penn in the full vigor of manhood, and in physical 
proportions which would render possible the traditions of his out- 
doing the Indians themselves in some of their feats of activity. His 
age is about thirty-eight, and his costume that in vogue during the 
last years of the reign of Charles II., the date of his first visit to this 
country. 

The bowl of the spoon contains an exact representation of the 
north front of the City Hall, the tower side. 

This building covers an area of four and one half acres, and 
contains five hundred and twenty rooms. 

The tower will be five hundred and thirty-seven feet four inches 
high, making it the highest building in the world.

IN the "National" Spoon two American flags gracefully entwine 
the Washington Monument, the tip of the handle is a liberty cap, 
underneath which is seen the American eagle and shield. In the 
bowl, shown in relief, is the celebrated statue of George Washington, 
by Greenough, which is to be seen in front of the Capitol in Wash- 
ington. The reverse of the handle is same as front, excepting the 
eagle is replaced by a handsome shield, allowing space for any

The "Plymouth, Mass.," Spoon. 

The "Pittsfield, Mass.," Spoon. 

Plymouth is the oldest town in New England, being 
the first to be settled by the Pilgrims. Pilgrims 1 Hall, 
erected in 1824 and 1825 by the Pilgrim Society, is con- 
structed of granite, with a Doric por- 
tico in front, while in the interior of 
the hall is an immense room, contain- 
ing" curiosities, historical paintings, and 
numerous relics of the old Pilgrim 
fathers. The rock upon which the 
people disembarked from the " May- 
flower " is called "Forefathers 1 Rock, 11 
and upon which, it is said, one hun- 
dred and one persons disembarked 
Dec. 22, 1620. Relic hunters have 
reduced this rock by chipping with a 
chisel until it is now only about six 
and one half feet across its broadest 
part, with a thickness of four feet. 

The beautiful souvenir spoon, the 
Pilgrim pattern, which is brought out 
in Plymouth, bears a representation of 
the "Mayflower 11 on the handle, with 
the woids "Plymouth, 1620, " while 
at the top of the spoon is the well- 
known mayflower, which some people 
are willing to make our national 
flower.

The beautiful souvenir spoon which is gotten out 
at Miles City, Mont., represents the Yellowstone 
Valley in the days when Gen. Nelson A. Miles went

of Miles City. 

At the head of the spoon is an excellent portrait 
of Gen. Miles, dressed in his army uniform, while below 
is arranged, by exquisite scroll 
work, his sword and belt. In 
the bowl of the spoon is depicted 
a representation of wild West 
life, on the site of which is now

"Miles City, Montana, 1876- 
1891."

tured old Fort Dearborn, dated 
"1 82 1," which formerly stood 
on the present site of Chicago. 
This fort was built by the gov- 
ernment in 1804, and was gar- 
risoned with about fifty men 
and three pieces of artillery. 
The fort, as it is well known, is 
at the head of Michigan Ave- 
nue, just below where it is 
crossed by Lake Street.

FOR SALE BY 

A. FELDENHEIMER, 
Portland, Oregon. 



Portland, Oregon, is situ- 
ated on the Willamette River, 
at the head of ship naviga- 
tion, about fifteen miles from 
its mouth. It is an enter- 
prising city, is rapidly grow- 
ing, and will, no doubt, hold 
the supremacy for many years 
as the leading commercial 
city in the Northwest. 

The spoons which have 
been gotten out as souvenirs 
of Portland bear in the first 
design as the handle a sal- 
mon, the symbol of the great 
industry carried on in Oregon, 
where thousands of pounds 
of salmon are canned every 
year for the markets of the 
world. The spoon bears in 
the bowl an excellent repre- 
sentation of Mount Hood, 
with the words, "Portland, 
Oregon." The second de- 
sign bears upon the handle 
at the top, Mount Hood, 
while along the shank of the 
spoon are the words, "Port- 
land, Oregon." 

Mount Hood is one of the 
principal peaks in Oregon. 
It has an elevation of four- 
teen thousand feet above the 
sea level. It is the highest 
mountain in the State, and 
seems to be a dormant vol- 
cano.

Buffalo is sometimes called the "Queen 
City." It is kind of a half-way house be- 
tween New England and Chicago. It 
was the scene of many a battle between 
the red men and the settlers, and at one 
time was one of the principal trading posts 
on the Niagara River. The shores were 
occupied by the Eries, who now have gone 
forever, and have only left their name to 
the lake which washes the shores of the 
city. One of the " Buffalo " Souvenir 
Spoons has in the bowl a representation 
of a buffalo's head, the handle being sur- 
mounted by a relief production of the 
State arms of New York. 

The " Buffalo" Coffee Spoon has in the 
upper part of the handle a cornucopia, 
upon which rests a full relief figure of a 
buffalo, and the miniature is very delicate- 
ly and accurately moulded, every detail 
of the animal being produced. Another 
"Buffalo" Spoon produced by the same 
house has its handle beautifully pierced to 
form the word "Buffalo." 

In the bowl of the "Niagara" Spoon 
there is a representation of the famous 
whirlpool, while at the extreme top of the 
handle is depicted the Horseshoe Falls of 
Niagara. The Niagara River is thirty- 
four miles in length, running from Lake 
Erie to Lake Ontario, and pouring its 
waters into the great lakes over a precipice 
of one hundred and sixty-five feet in 
height, forming the unrivalled cataract of 
Niagara. At the head of the first rapids, 
two miles below the falls, the river is 
spanned by a suspension bridge eight 
hundred feet in length, two hundred and 
thirty feet above the water. The southern 
extremity of the first rapids, at an angle 
in the river, causes a reflex of the current, which forms a number of 
eddies, commonly called whirlpools, more remarkable for the heap- 
ing up of the waters in the middle of the river without the impetus 
of the current than by any particular violence of the whirlpools 
themselves. The awe-stricken tourist stands and views these falls 
and wonders at the grandeur of the creations of nature. 

The "Chautauqua" Spoon has the representation of a lamp, 
symbolical of study, and a picture of one of the halls. It is a beauti- 
ful spoon, and a suitable souvenir for any one who is interested in 
the studies of Chautauqua.

"Birthplace of Jackson" Spoon. 

NASHVILLE, TENN. 

The "Charleston, W. Va.," Spoon. 



The Nashville, Tennessee, 
spoon bears upon the tip of 
the handle an accurate bust 
of Gen. Jackson, resting upon a 
pedestal around which entwine 
immortelles. The likeness is a 
reproduction of Healy's portrait 
taken for the French Emperor. 
The " Hermitage, 11 where Gen. 
Jackson lived, is situated about 
twelve miles from Nashville, 
and it was at this beautiful 
country seat that Gen. Jackson 
spent forty years of his life, and 
where he died and was buried. 
The old log-cabin that the gen- 
eral moved into in 1804 is still 
standing, being preserved by 
the Ladies 1 Hermitage Associa- 
tion. It shows all the old-fash- 
ioned conveniences, — the yawn- 
ing fireplace, the old rock chim- 
ney, and the iron crane upon 
which was hung the dinner pot. 
In the bowl of the spoon is pic- 
tured an accurate representation 
of the birthplace of Jackson. 
The spoon is a beautiful souve- 
nir of this great man.

On the graceful ' ' Fort 
Sumter and St. Michael's " 
Spoon there is shown in 
the bowl an accurate 
representation of Fort 
Sumter. The handle rep- 
resents the palmetto-tree, 
while at the top of the 
bowl is the coat-of-arms 
of South Carolina. On the 
back of the spoon, on the 
bowl, is pictured St. 
Michael's Church. Foun- 
ded in 1672, Charleston 
is one of the most ancient 
cities in the United States. 

Asheville is a flourish- 
ing town in the northern 
part of North Carolina, 
very near Rah way. It 
has grown into great 
prominence, in the last 
few years, as a watering 
place, and is visited every 
season by a large number 
of fashionable pleasure 
seekers. Its elevation is 
about 2,200 feet above 
the level of the sea, and 
as a consequence its cli- 
mate is salubrious and 
healthful for invalids. 

The beautiful souvenir 
spoon which commemo- 
rates the place contains 
in the bowl a representa- 
tion of the Queen City of 
the mountains, Asheville 
itself, on its plateau ; while 
on the handle is the coat- 
of-arms of North Caro- 
lina.

The " Lockport " Spoon. 
For sale by 

C. G. BROWN, 

Lockport, N. Y. 



The "Lockport, N. Y.," 
Spoon is not only a souvenir of 
that town, but indirectly of the 
Erie Canal and of Gov. DeWitt 
Clinton, to whom the country is 
indebted for this great piece of 
engineering. Depicted at the 
top of the spoon is the Hawley 
Building, where the celebrated 
Gaskell pump engines are man- 
ufactured, and also St. Mary's 
Church. A very good view is 
given in the upper part of the 
spoon of the five combined 
locks, a most substantial piece 
of masonry, from which the city 
takes its name. Along the 
handle are the words, " Lock- 
port, N. Y." 



In the "Alger" Spoon, 
which is not only com- 
memorative of Gen. R. 
A. Alger, former com- 
mander of the Grand 
Army, but also of De- 
troit, is one of the most 
graceful productions of 
the silversmith. At the 
top of the handle, in a 
wreath of immortelles, 
is a bust of Gen. Alger; 
below is a shield with 
two swords, while in 
the bowl is the badge 
of the G. A. R., and 
the date of the encamp- 
ment at Detroit, Au- 
gust 3 and 8, 1891. 
The spoon is not only a 
beautiful souvenir of a 
great man, but also ot 
a great organization.

The "Black Hawk" Spoon. 



DAVENPORT, IOWA. 



Davenport is built at the foot of a bluff 
which rises gradually from the river, with 
a range around the hills in the back- 
ground. 

The scenery around the town is scarcely 
surpassed by any on the Mississippi River. 
The city is destined to become one of the 
most important in the West. It was first 
settled in 1837. 

Connected with the history of Daven- 
port, Iowa, is Black HaAvk, the celebrated 
Indian chief. Davenport was once the 
site of a village of Sacs and Foxes, a tribe 
of Indians, which in 1832 waged war 
against the United States. It was a con- 
flict of devastation and bloodshed, and is 
known in history as the Black Hawk war. 

At the top of the handle of the beauti- 
ful souvenir spoon, which is commemora- 
tive of Black Hawk, is a figure of the 
celebrated chief in full war costume. He 
carries in one hand a spear, while in the 
other he has a tomahawk. In the bowl 
are two quivers full of arrows, and the bow, 
typical of the celebrated warrior.

The "Norfolk, Va." 

The "Casa Grande Ruins," 
Prescott, Arizona. 



One of the most exquisite of souvenir spoons is 
that which has been brought out in Norfolk, Va. On 
the enlarged end of the handle is a representation of 
St. Paul's Church. Under the representation of the 
church are the words, " St. Paul's Church," and 
around the edge of the enlarged portion, surrounding 
the representation of the church, is ornamental shell 
scroll work. Arranged on the shank, or the handle, 
is the word " Norfolk." Above and below this word, 
on the handle, are leaf 
scrolls, below which is 
ornamental scroll work. 



The enterprising city of 
Prescott, Arizona, has a 
beautiful souvenir to com- 
memorate its semi-tropical 
position, as well as the 
famous Casa Grande 
Ruins, one of the myste- 
rious relics of a past race. 
These ruins are repre- 
sented in the bowl, while 
the handle is a represen- 
tation of the famous 
Saguerro cactus of Ari- 
zona. The handle and 
bowl are joined together 
by the Cholla and Pear 
cactus. The Saguerro 
cactus grows on the plains 
of Arizona to the height of 
seventy feet. That mys- 
terious race, the Aztecs, 
whose monuments of ge- 
nius are seen through the 
Southwest and Mexico, 
are thus beautifully com- 
memorated in a souvenir.

■ Thus at half-ebb a rolling sea 
Returns, and wins upon the shore ;

Rest on their fins awhile, and stay, 
Then backward take their wond'ring way." 

Dryden. 

; The glittering finny swarms 
That heave our friths, and crowd upon our 
shores." Thomson. 



Whenever a person happens to see 
some fish, they naturally think of where 
they come from, and, of course, every one 
knows that the most of them come from 
Gloucester ; and whenever a person thinks 
of Gloucester, the first thing that enters 
his head is fish, and so it is but natural 
that we should have a "Fish" souvenir 
Spoon of that city. It is a graceful spoon, 
bearing a realistic figure of a fish on the 
handle.

DIEDRICH KNICKERBOCKER was a non-de-plume assumed 
by Washington Irving in the publication of the " History 
of New York," and has now become the name given in jest to all 
the old Dutchmen of New Amsterdam. In one of the patterns the 
" old Knickerbocker " is represented dressed in his ancient cos- 
tume, sitting in his chair holding aloft a tankard, while another 
shows the old Dutchman seated at a desk poring over his books. 
In the coffee spoon there is produced a miniature statuette of an 
old Knickerbocker, 'which forms the top of the handle, while along 
the shank is the word " Knickerbocker," and in the bowl the words 
" New York." 

The " Rip Van Winkle " Spoon, as taken from the fine old 
story by Washington Irving, is made in two patterns. In the first 
pattern Rip is seen at the top of the handle of the spoon rising from 
his long sleep in the mountains. His face shows astonishment at his 
surroundings, and his white hair falls over his face, while his clothing 
seems ready to drop off. Upon the shank of the spoon is his gun, 
and etched along the figure are the words " New York." 

In the second pattern stands a mini- 
ature of Rip Van Winkle himself, hav- 
ing just arisen from his long sleep. In 
his hand he carries his gun, while his 
clothes are tattered and torn. He crawls 
along, rubbing his eyes in astonishment 
at the new sights he sees. Along the 
shank of the spoon are the words " New 
York." ' . 

Peter Stuyvesant was the last Dutch 
governor of New York. He had pre- 
viously served in the West Indies, where 
he lost a leg in battle. He forms a 
conspicuous character in Irving's hu- 
morous history, called the " History of 
New York," by Diedrich Knickerbocker. 
At the top of the spoon, which is a 
souvenir of the old Dutch governor, is 
represented a miniature statuette true 

to life. There's a wooden leg, the cos- Ri P Van winkle Beii.

THE " Totem Pole " Spoon of Alaska was designed by Lieut. 
Schwatka, of the Columbian World's Fair Commission, and of 
the late Greely Expedition. The spoon is of a quaint and curious 
design, and of great historical value, illustrating as it does the 
method of the Alaska Indians in presenting the geneaology of their 
respective tribes. 



The " Sleepy Hollow " Souvenir Spoon appeals to the most 
cultured. On the bowl is depicted the " Headless Horseman," ren- 
dered so famous in the sketch of Washington Irving, while the 
handle is surmounted with the statuette, accurately modelled, of 
Ichabod Crane, the old schoolmaster. The spoon is very interesting 
from the fact that both the etching of the " Headless Horseman " in 
the bowl and the figure of the pedagogue have been taken from 
F. O. C. Darley's illustration of the story as told by Irving. 



In the " Sherman " Spoon there is seen at the top of the handle, 
surrounded, by a wreath of laurel, a miniature of Gen. Sherman, 
being produced from the last photograph for which the old soldier 
ever sat. A sword and a palm branch, symbolizing death, are ar- 
ranged below the bust, while in the bowl is a fac-simile autograph 
of. the general, and the dates " 1 820-1 891," being respectively the 
dates of his birth and death. 



Anneke Jans was supposed to have had some claim upon the 
property of Trinity Church, and rumors of suits pending against the 
Trinity Corporation in respect to its property became so widespread 
over the United States that it became necessary for the officers of 
the church to issue a public letter saying that any one who claimed 
to be a descendant of Anneke Jans, or who was otherwise interested 
in claims hostile to the title of the corporation, were cautioned 
against paying out money, as there were no negotiations or suits 
being prosecuted at present. The coffee spoon which commemo- 
rates this individual bears on the top of the handle her portrait, 
while along the shank of the spoon are the words " Anneke Jans."

" In sixteen hundred thirty-six,

By saucing the governor of Massachusetts, 
And skedaddled away to Rhode Island." 

The "Roger Williams" Souvenir Spoon is exceptionally ap- 
propriate to Rhode Island, and Providence, its capital, inasmuch as 
it shows upon the handle a miniature full-length statue of Roger 
Williams, its founder, the details of which were copied from the 
statue in Roger Williams Park. Upon the bowl of the spoon is 
portrayed the famous picture "What Cheer?" representing the land- 
ing of Roger Williams upon the rock which bears. his name, and is 
situated in Providence on the Seekonk River. Nothing could be 
more closely allied with the history of Rhode Island, or appropriate 
as a gift or souvenir of the State, than this representation of its 
founder and his landing.

MINNEAPOLIS - - - MINN. 



MINNESOTA presents to the tourist an immense number of 
natural objects of interest. Her rivers are filled with pictur- 
esque rapids and falls, and her forests are the paradise of the 
hunter. The Falls of St. Anthony are on the Mississippi; their 
perpendicular pitch, which is only sixteen and one half feet, furnishes 
one of the finest water powers in the world. Like Niagara, the falls 
are divided by an island, the bulk of the water passing on the western 
side, which is three hundred and ten yards wide. The beautiful 
spoon, a souvenir of these falls, bears upon the handle an accurate 
representation of the falls, while at the top of the handle are the word 
"Minneapolis," and the date " 1766," while running into the bowl, 
which is of unique pattern, are the words " Falls of St. Anthony." 
Minneapolis, one of the most enterprising of the Western cities, is 
situated on these falls, and the immense water power is used to run 
her extensive manufactories.

' No man condemn me who has never felt 
A woman's power, or tried the force of love; 
All tempers yield and soften in those fires'. 
Our honors, interests, resolving down, 
Run in the gentle current of our joys." 

Si IUTHERN. 



The charming little ." Cupid " Spoon, which 
has been designed by Miss Bunker, is, as its title 
implies, especially adapted for a "love" spoon. 
An exquisitely modelled min- 
iature Cupid surmounts the 
handle, while the shank is an 
arrow forming with the bowl 
a '-Cupid's dart." For a re- 
membrance to the newly en- 
gaged young lady or as a 
token of love and esteem for 
a friend or relative, this little 
souvenir will always share a 
place. 



The "Madonna" Spoon 
is especially designed for a 
gift spoon. At the tip of 
the handle is a delicately 
modelled figure of the Holy 
Mother and Child, while in 
the bowl is represented the 
" Star of Bethlehem."- The 
fostering care of the Virgin, 
so well pictured in our great 
paintings, is brought out in 
this spoon, and the subject 
certainly makes it an appro- 
priate gift of a mother to a 
child or as a pledge of friend- 
ship and esteem. The « M adonna " spoon.

The "Longfellow Home." 



CAMBRIDGE, MASS. 



During the first half of the year 
1 775, Gen. Washington was stationed 
at Cambridge, Mass., in command of 
the American Army. He made his 
headquarters at that time in the old 
mansard-roof house which in later years 
became the home of the poet Henry 
Wadsworth Longfellow, and which 
to-day stands one of the prides of Cam- 
bridge. A. J. Applegate of that town, 
in employing this edifice as the principal 
feature of a souvenir spoon, has pro- 
duced an article that is of thorough 
historical and sentimental significance. 
The numerous details of the building, 
with the surrounding fence, gates, trees, 
shrubbery, etc., as represented in the 
bowl of the spoon, are excellently repro- 
duced. The shank of the handle is of 
a beautiful pattern of conventional 
leaves arranged in scroll fashion. The 
whole handle is of architectural char- 
acter, the leaf work being topped by a 
capital, upon which rests a bust of the 
poet, in full relief. The likeness is 
. perfect, and the die is excellent, the 
many details being reproduced realisti- 
cally. Under the scene in the bowl 
are the words, in two lines, "Home of

The execution of this familiar national figure, 
which forms the handle, is very fine, the peculiari- 
ties of figure, pose, features, and costume being 
accurately depicted. The figure stands on a mini- 
ature hemisphere representing the earth. The 
signification of this arrangement is apparent. The 
bowl has a gentle curve at the top portion which is 
very attractive. 

( (wing to its national character, pleasing ap- 
pearance, and artistic workmanship, perfect in 
every detail, this will doubtless become the most 
popular of souvenir spoons.

UNCLE SAM," says Mr. Frost, " meaning the United States 
government, was first used in this manner : The inspectors of 
Elbert Anderson's store, on the Hudson, were Ebenezer Wilson and 
his uncle, Sam Wilson, the latter of whom superintended in person 
the workmen, and went by the name of 'Uncle Sam.' The stores 
were marked 'E. A. — U. S.' (Elbert Anderson, United States)-, and 
one of the employees being asked the meaning, said, ' U. S. stood 
for Uncle Sam.' The joke took, and in the War of Independence 
the men carried it. with them, and so it became stereotyped."

.925— Stanoarb of purity— 925 



NO QUESTION is of greater importance to the purchaser of liberal means 
and of cultivated taste than that of the purity of the metal of which his 
tea or other service is made. Absolute purity — i. e., \^% fine — is 
impracticable, it being too soft for durability. Both American and French 
silver coins are made of silver of the standard of ffife fine. English silver coin, 
however, is of a higher grade, to^oV nne ' known as Sterling. 

In former years, American silversmiths adopted for their wares the standard 
of American coin — i. e., -fflfe — and many family heirlooms are to be found with 
the word "Coin" stamped upon them. In the year 1868 the Gorham Company 
adopted the English standard of Sterling (itfuo), and has since adhered to it 
exclusively, and the method and system adopted by this company secures the 
utmost accuracy. The responsibility is not left wholly with the person or persons 
whose business it is to prepare the silver bullion for the crucible. A competent 
assayer is employed who is constantly engaged inspecting the quality of the silver 
in the various processes of manufacture. 

It therefore stands to reason that this company, thoroughly conscientious in 
its intentions, and so well fortified with every possible safeguard over the working 
of its metal, should instil unbounded confidence in the reliability as to the quality 
of its productions. The manufacturer whose capital and resources are too limited 
to allow of a similar plan of inspection, and is in consequence wholly dependent 
upon the accuracy of the one person whose business it is to " make up " the silver 
for the melter, is not and cannot be otherwise than approximate in the degree of 
purity of the metal which he manufactures. 

It has been well said that the trade-mark of this company stamped upon every 
article made by them is as thorough a guarantee as that of the ' ' Hall Mark " 
of England. 

This company, established in 1831, has had an experience of over sixty years 
in the manufacture of solid silverware, and the combined advantages that large 
capital and a constantly increasing busines afford, enable it to stand pre-eminent 
in this department of art industry. 

Its wares are sold and indorsed by every prominent dealer in the United States, 
and by many dealers in foreign countries.

^Designs* 



IN THE IMPORTANT department of design, the Gorham Company are 
exceptionally well prepared to furnish original and consistent designs for single 
or collective pieces for any purpose desired. 

A corps of thoroughly skilled artists, designers, and modellers are constantly 
employed under the best possible supervision. While the demand for designs for 
prize cups is constant, it is not an unfrequent occurrence to be required to furnish 
.designs for elaborate dinner and tea services to the value of many thousands of 
dollars, and the growing desire on the part of persons of a refined taste to possess 
especially designed articles is a commendable one, and though in a measure it 
enhances the cost, the satisfaction derived from such a specially designed service 
is fully commensurate with the cost. 

When, however, the item of cost must be studied, the resources of the 
Gorham Company in its accumulation during the sixty years of its experience, of 
castings, models, etc., are such as to render available appropriate and valuable 
material in place of special models.

IRespousee Becorattoru 



VISITORS to the works of the Gorham Company (lady visitors especially) 
are invariably fascinated by the process of repousse chasing. The partial 
insight into the mysteries of the art which was obtained by the numerous 
classes of ladies formed comparatively recently for the ostensible purpose 
of studying the art, although inadequately furnished with implements and 
apparatus indispensable to the proper method of practice, nevertheless created a keen 
desire on the part of the ladies to see for themselves the modus operandi. A brief 
description of the process will be of interest, both to those who have observed the 
process and those who have not. 

If the article be a hollow piece, such as a pitcher, teapot, vase, cup, or similar 
piece, the design is first drawn in pencil on the outer surface. A long, bent, iron 
tool, thus : A \ B held firmly in a vise is then introduced 

into the piece, the point "A" \ being more or less blunt in different tools, in 
order to more readily produce the desired effect. This point being brought in 
contact with the inner surface, the workman then gives a series of sharp blows with 
a hammer at the point marked " B." The effect of this is to push the point ("A") 
of the tool against the inner surface with sufficient force to bulge the outer surface 
opposite the point of contact, and in this manner the design is "pushed out," 
which is literally the meaning of the word "repousse." The piece is then ready to be 
filled with pitch. If the question be asked, Why is it necessary to fill with pitch? we 
answer, because, inasmuch as the artisan must work out his design on the outer 
surface by continuous blows of the hammer upon the head of the pointed chasing 
tool, there must be something besides air to sustain the effect of the blow and 
prevent the "caving in" of the surface. The pitch is of the exact consistency 
required, and the artisan labors to the full extent of his skill in producing the 
exquisite life-like effects which are seen in the best examples of the art. 

If the article be a flat piece, like a waiter, it is embedded in pitch after the 
design has been drawn and the repousse or ' ' pushed-out " effect obtained by 
hammering with a proper tool from the back.

A large percentage of the foregoing illustrated Souvenir Spoons having

this medium, my establishment to the combined Jewelry and Silverware 
trade of the country for the execution of original designs in the line of

among the best executed' in the list, I should feel confident to give full 
satisfaction to all patrons who hereafter would intrust me with the cutting 
of new designs.

manufacture of Jewelry and Silverware will meet with prompt attention and
